Post awareness drives, Hyderabad police to book cases, levy fines on traffic violators

Hyderabad: Having educated motorists for a week on the dangers of driving on the wrong side of the road and triple riding, the Hyderabad traffic police from Monday will book a case and levy fines on the violators.

Last week the Hyderabad police launched a special drive to ‘educate’ the people about the risks of driving in the wrong direction on roads. During the period the police conducted street corner meetings at various public places and took up a social media campaign.

“We created awareness through different mediums for a week and now we will start booking cases against violators. Fines will be levied in accordance with the M V Act rules,” said A V Ranganath, the Joint Commissioner of Police, (traffic)
