The Delhi Traffic Police has taken stringent action against traffic violators during a special citywide enforcement drive aimed at improving road safety and reducing dangerous driving practices.
According to officials, the campaign focused on three major violations:

The enforcement operation was carried out across major roads, highways, commercial centres, entertainment zones, and accident-prone locations throughout the national capital.

| Challans issued for wrong-side driving | 7,549 |
The police stated that 65 FIRs were registered in serious cases involving dangerous instances of wrong-side driving, while 7,549 challans were issued against offenders.
Focus on Road Safety
Officials said wrong-side driving remains one of the leading causes of severe road accidents and fatalities, particularly on highways and busy arterial roads.
The drive also targeted motorists operating vehicles under the influence of alcohol and those using illegal tinted window films that violate traffic regulations and hinder law enforcement visibility.

Authorities have urged motorists to follow traffic rules, avoid reckless driving practices, and cooperate with enforcement agencies to help reduce accidents and enhance road discipline across the city.
