A whopping amount of Rs 25 crore as fine was collected from traffic rule violators in the twin cities of Cuttack and Bhubaneswar in about one year, said Commissioner of Police Sudhanshu Sarangi here on Wednesday.
Sarangi said that on the basis of CCTV footages, around 350 challans are being issued every day for violation of the traffic rules.
The number would further increase in next two to three months. “Within around one year following the implementation of strict traffic rules, Rs 25 crore has been collected as fine from the violators in Cuttack and Bhubaneswar. Do not ever think that you can escape after violating the traffic rules. You will definitely be caught one day and face the music for the offences,” the CP cautioned.
He further said, “There are certain people who are still not obeying the traffic rules and waiting for the cops to catch hold of them. They should be cautious.”
