During the campaign against drunk driving, the traffic police checked 40,898 vehicles and booked 562 motorists found driving under the influence of alcohol. In a simultaneous crackdown on over-speeding, the police registered 65 cases and collected ₹65,000 in fines from violators.

to fatal accidents in the city. Officials said similar enforcement drives will continue in the coming weeks to curb traffic violations and ensure safer roads for commuters.
