- Pune Traffic Police Cracking Down on Rule Violators: The Pune Traffic Police have been on a mission to crack down on traffic rule violators, taking action against more than 35,000 drivers for various offences this year. With over 30,000 drivers already facing the consequences of their actions, including 3,341 caught riding triple seats and 634 charged with drunk driving, the police are leaving no stone unturned in their efforts to ensure road safety.
- Negligence Leading to Accidents: According to the Traffic Police, a significant number of serious accidents in Pune are a result of driver negligence. With around 850 traffic personnel deployed across the city in two shifts to manage traffic at key intersections and enforce road safety regulations, the police are working tirelessly to curb these incidents. However, violations like driving on the wrong side, using mobile phones while driving, triple-seat riding, and failing to wear seatbelts continue to be widespread.
- Strict Penalties for Offenders: Police Commissioner Amitesh Kumar has made it clear that drivers found guilty of severe violations, such as drunk driving and reckless behavior, will face strict penalties. Not only will these unruly drivers face fines, but they will also have their vehicles impounded and their driving licenses suspended for six months. The message is clear – break the rules, face the consequences.
- Crackdown on Drunk Driving: Deputy Commissioner of Police (Traffic), Amol Zende, revealed that over 2,500 individuals were caught for drunk driving this year alone. In a bid to tackle this issue head-on, the traffic police have sent a proposal to the Regional Transport Office (RTO) to suspend the licenses of 500 offenders for at least six months. This zero-tolerance approach to drunk driving aims to make the streets of Pune safer for everyone.
- Road Safety a Top Priority: With road safety being a top priority for the Pune Traffic Police, drivers are being urged to abide by the rules and regulations to avoid facing the consequences of their actions. As the crackdown on rule violators intensifies, it is clear that the police are committed to making Pune’s roads safer for all.
