The Delhi High Court today asked the city traffic police to decide within six weeks a representation by 170 farmhouse owners in Gurgaon who have alleged their society roads are being used as a thoroughfare by heavy vehicles going towards Rajokri village here.
A bench of Justice Suresh Kait passed the order on a plea by Westend Green Farms Society, representing the farmhouses, alleging no action has been taken on their representations sent to the traffic police and various other authorities.
It had alleged that heavy motor vehicles are using their society roads to reach Rajokri village despite there being an alternate route to reach the area, located near National Highway-8.
The society has contended that the movement of the heavy vehicles has resulted in an increase in air and noise pollution in the area and had sought directions to the traffic police to put a stop to it.
After perusing the plea of the society, the high court directed the traffic police to decide on the representation within six weeks and disposed of the petition.
