Over the course of the last four days, the Commissionerate Police conducted a checking drive in the capital city of Bhubaneswar and seized at least 400 automobiles for breaking traffic laws.
Speaking to the media, Police Commissioner Sanjeeb Panda said, “Since traffic enforcement is an important aspect of Safe City drive of the Commissionerate Police of Bhubaneswar and Cuttack, we have been conducting strict checking of vehicles, including two-wheelers and four-wheelers, during the last few days.”
“During this period, we seized 400 vehicles for violating traffic norms. We have written to the RTO to cancel the driving licences of the offenders. However, the violators can get their vehicles back after paying the requisite penalty in the court,” Panda said.
The Commissioner went on to say that the cars were seized due to a number of norm violations, including as driving while intoxicated, operating a vehicle in the incorrect lane, using a phone while operating a vehicle, running a red light at a traffic signal post, and others. He declared that more enforcement would be done to lower the number of traffic accidents.
