The SP has also directed to take action against these elements for violation of traffic rules if found over-speeding or driving without licence. Shandilya has also asked to keep a watch on minors or adults, driving rashly through the lanes and using pressure horns creating problems for women and elderly persons.

The officers said that a fine of Rs26,400 have been realized from the vehicles for violation of traffic rules.
The initiative taken by the police has reduced the number of youths frequenting near schools and colleges. ‘Gaurav Path’, which was often crowded by anti-social elements and youths driving fast has witnessed a significant change and reduction in number of such elements. The residents of city have appreciated the move initiated by the police and requested the authorities to make it a regular exercise.
