Himachal Pradesh Police on Monday cracked down on an SUV owner for allegedly driving his vehicle across the Chandra River in Lahaul and Spiti district. The video of the SUV being driven in the river, possibly in an attempt to beat the massive traffic congestion, went viral on social media
Tourists have been thronging to the hill station to celebrate Christmas and New Year, causing a major traffic nightmare in the state. Amid the rush, a Mahindra Thar owner opted for an ingenious way to ditch the traffic snarls and drove across the river
Taking note of the video, the police issued a challan to the driver. “Recently, a video went viral in which a Thar is crossing the river Chandra in District Lahaul Spiti. The said vehicle has been challenged under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 and to ensure that no one commits such an offence in the future, the district police have deployed police personnel at the said place,” Mayank Chaudhry, superintendent of police, said
