Karnataka police personnel told to follow traffic rules

The Karnataka Police Department has issued a directive requiring all police personnel to strictly adhere to traffic rules, following a report from the Karnataka State Police Complaints Authority. The order, issued by Commissioner of Traffic and Road Safety Parashurama K., comes after concerns raised by authority member Mohan Kumar Danappa, who highlighted frequent violations by police personnel, including riding without helmets, using mobile phones while driving, and failing to wear seat belts. These actions, often recorded and shared online, have led to public criticism and damaged the police's reputation. The directive mandates that unit heads sensitize personnel during daily roll calls and supervisory officers monitor compliance, with disciplinary measures for violators.

Bias read (Center): The article presents a factual directive from the Karnataka Police Department without overtly criticizing or praising the policy.
