Consequences for Non-Compliance
Vij warned that any traffic police personnel who do not follow these new rules will face strict action.
There are some major reasons behind these new rules. Firstly, it was reported that traffic police were unnecessarily stopping vehicles and harassing drivers at night. Moreover, the traffic police aim to avoid such issues and ensure the fair treatment of drivers.
Focus on Drunk Driving
