HH & Company helping ease traffic woes

KATHMANDU, July 19: Hansraj Hulaschand & Company (HH & Company) - the authorized dealer of Bajaj motorcycles in Nepal - last week handed over two Bajaj Pulsar 180 motorcycles to District Traffic Police Office, Rupandehi. This is not the first time that the company provided bikes to traffic police.



It has been providing two-wheelers to traffic offices across the country since 2006 as a part of its corporate social responsibility.[break]



HH & Company began the initiative by providing Bajaj Pulsar motorbikes to Quick Response Team (QRT) of Metropolitan Traffic Police Office, Kathmandu, in 2006. It has so far provided six motorbikes to QRT. The company has also provided bikes to Itahari, Pokhara, Narayanghat and Biratnagar to ease traffic problems there. The bikes have come handy for traffic police in regulating traffic in areas facing frequent traffic jams.



"HH & Company´s contribution has become effective in regulating traffic in different parts of the country. We are grateful for the company for its valuable support," said DIC Kuber Singh Rana, chief of Western Regional Traffic Police Office, after receiving the bikes.



Shekhar Golchha, executive director of HH & Company, said the company was pleased to have got opportunity to assist traffic police in managing traffic in major cities across the country. "As a part of our continued support, we recently provided two Bajar Pulsar 180 cc motorcycles to Rupandehi District Traffic Police," Golchha added.

HH & Company so far has provided 15 bikes worth Rs 3,000,000 to traffic police. The especially equipped bikes go through necessary modification like adding siren, police lights and extra security features before they are handed over to the police.



"Our contribution is aimed at empowering traffic police to manage traffic across the country in a better way," Golchha said. Stating that traffic congestion is a common problem for both pedestrians and vehicle owners, Golchha said they were trying to help society through small contribution as a part of their CSR initiatives.



HH & Company plans to provide more motorbikes to the traffic police in the coming days as well. "We´ve already expressed our commitments to provide bikes to traffic police offices in Hetauda and Birgunj," Golchha, said, adding, "We´ll think about other cities after that."
