During the BJP’s roadshow in Chandigarh on May 10, over 100 traffic violations were recorded, resulting in numerous challans issued by the traffic police. The event, held in support of BJP’s Lok Sabha nominee Sanjay Tandon, witnessed widespread disregard for traffic regulations. Violations included triple riding, helmetless two-wheeler riders, overloaded cars, wrong-way driving, and individuals sitting on top of vehicles, causing significant chaos and inconvenience to residents.
The roadshow began at the BJP office in Sector 33 and ended at the Exhibition Ground in Sector 34, covering several sectors in between. The police documented around 75 violations through handycam recordings, with additional infractions reported via social media and captured by CCTV cameras. The offenses cited included dangerous driving (Section 184), riding without helmets (Section 129), and wrong parking (Section 177) under the Motor Vehicle Act.
