The operation, conducted at various locations including National Highway, Darhal, Kotranka, and Sunderbani, led to 77 vehicles being challaned and 10 vehicles seized for violating traffic rules.
As part of the strict action, a fine of Rs 1,79,800 was imposed on violators. Additionally, show-cause notices were issued to 8 drivers, while 5 drivers were served suspension notices for their Registration Certificates (RCs) due to their involvement in bovine smuggling.
During the crackdown, drivers were instructed to adhere to traffic norms, avoid overspeeding and overloading, and mandatorily display fare lists in their vehicles. Special focus was placed on vehicles operating without valid fitness certificates and driving licenses.
Authorities also issued stern warnings against carrying goods on the rooftops of passenger vehicles, emphasizing that such violations pose a serious risk to public safety.
