PCMC holds back proposal to fine illegal vehicles

The standing committee members of Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal corporation (PCMC) on Tuesday created an uproar over the issue of the traffic police allegedly taking Rs9,000 per month hafta or protection money for allowing illegal vehicles to ply between Chinchwad station and Mumbai. The illegal tourist vehicles, which cause the traffic congestion, are actually being protected by traffic police, the members said.
