Sonauli, Maharajganj. The game of illegal cutting of trucks in India Nepal border area is old. The police administration has adopted a strict stance on the continuous complaints received. Last Sunday, Area Officer Nautanvan Ankur Gautam conducted a sudden raid in Sonauli truck parking. This action created panic among the brokers, drivers and parking stand operators involved in truck cutting. According to the information received, due to the queue of trucks about 6 kilometers long at the Sonauli border, some drivers were ignoring the rules and reaching the border directly through illegal routes. This was not only affecting law and order, but the drivers honestly waiting for their turn were also facing problems. The area officer got information about this illegal cutting through some medium, after which immediate action was taken.
During the raid, the drivers of five trucks parked in the Sonauli parking lot were called to the police station for questioning, while challans were issued for about half a dozen trucks. Apart from this, about a dozen drivers ignoring the rules were given a stern warning that strict legal action would be taken if found indulging in such activities in future.
This sudden action has had a deep impact on the network involved in truck cutting. This message has been clearly sent at the local level that illegal activities in the border area will not be tolerated at any cost. Honest truck drivers have taken a sigh of relief from this strictness of the administration and have expressed hope that such regular action will continue in future also.
This initiative of Area Officer Nautanwan is being considered an important step towards strengthening discipline, transparency and law and order in the border area. The administration says that surveillance will be increased in future also and strict action will continue against those doing illegal cutting or commission.
