GCTP personnel are working hard to ensure smooth traffic flow in the City by enforcing various traffic regulations. However many road users indulge in wrong-side driving which not only causes traffic congestion but also affects the safety of other road users.
Hence a special drive was organized for three days from Monday to Wednesday to contain wrong-side driving by the motorists. In the drive, 15239 cases were booked and Rs.51,27,000/- was collected as fine amount by online payment method. The violators were insisted to pay the fine on the spot in order to deter them from driving on the wrong side.
Vehicles of the violators were detained in case they fail to pay the fine on the spot. Thus 1684 vehicles were detained and taken into custody. They will be released after payment of the fine amount. During this year alone, 60181 cases were booked and Rs.1,31,98,000/- was collected as fine amount for wrong-side driving. The special focus on wrong-side driving shall continue in future.
