During the drive, 200 vehicles were inspected, and 40 were challaned for offenses such as riding without helmets, using mobile phones while driving, and failing to produce valid documents. Key violations included four cases under Section 194(B) for not wearing helmets, 17 under Section 194(D) for overloading, and seven under Section 3/181 for driving without a valid license. Additionally, four vehicles were seized, and seven driving licenses were recommended for suspension. The total expected e-challan amount is ₹99,500.
Special attention was given to violations that contribute significantly to road accidents, such as underage riding bikes, mobile phone usage while driving, and reckless driving. Officials emphasized that helmet usage is mandatory for both riders and pillion passengers to reduce the risk of fatal injuries. Public awareness was also a focus, with pamphlets distributed to educate citizens on the importance of adhering to traffic rules, carrying valid documents, and avoiding reckless driving.
The authorities reiterated their commitment to strict enforcement of traffic laws to ensure public safety. They emphasized that future drives would prioritize serious violations like mobile usage while driving, drunk driving, rash driving, and operating unfit vehicles. Citizens were urged to cooperate by following traffic rules and adopting responsible driving habits to prevent accidents and ensure safety for all road users.
