SSP Mishra warns officers will take necessary actions through further investigation against these drivers.

“You follow the rule, you don’t have to be told what is wrong and what is right because at the end of the day when you obtain your driving license there is a condition that governs the driving license and by law which when you fail to adhere to that’s where the enforcement comes in.”

Meanwhile, 5, 541 drivers have been charged for several traffic offenses since the beginning of this month.

Sixty-one drivers were arrested and taken in custody.
