Shahdol traffic police intensified enforcement of helmet and seat‑belt rules, collecting ₹78,600 in fines within three days, with the operation continuing until October 8.
Shahdol's traffic police launched a focused enforcement drive targeting riders without helmets and drivers who neglect seat‑belt usage. The operation, which began earlier this month, saw officers set up checkpoints across the city and issue penalties to violators.
Within the first three days of the campaign, authorities collected a total of ₹78,600 in fines from individuals caught breaking the safety norms. The amount reflects the cumulative penalties imposed on both two‑wheelers and four‑wheelers.
The crackdown is scheduled to run until October 8, as part of a broader effort by the Madhya Pradesh traffic department to curb road accidents and promote compliance with safety regulations. Police officials indicated that the initiative aims to create a lasting impact on driver behaviour across the region.
Statewide, similar campaigns have been rolled out in other districts to address the high incidence of traffic‑related injuries, underscoring the government's commitment to road safety.
The continued presence of enforcement teams is expected to deter future violations and encourage the public to adopt safer driving habits.
