Bengaluru: In a proactive move to enforce traffic regulations and curb violations, the Bengaluru South Traffic Division police conducted a targeted operation, resulting in the seizure of 84 twowheelers and 1 car.

These vehicles were found to have accumulated fines exceeding Rs.50,000 each due to various traffic infractions.

The operation, spearheaded by Deputy Commissioner of Police, Bengaluru South, Shivprakash Devaraj, was prompted by a directive from Joint Commissioner of Police MN Anucheth to crack down on offenders with significant fines.

Under the directive, traffic police officers were instructed to take strict action against individuals who had amassed fines of over Rs 50,000, signalling a zero-tolerance approach towards repeated traffic violations.

Utilising advanced surveillance technology, including sophisticated cameras, the authorities identified and targeted vehicles involved in a range of traffic violations, such as driving without a helmet, disregarding traffic signals, and failing to wear seat belts.
