While 5,200 vehicles were inspected at Nakabandi locations, 80 intoxicated drivers were apprehended by the city police. Due to the drivers’ intoxicated driving, the authorities confiscated the automobiles.
For the protection of local residents throughout the celebration, many police officers were stationed throughout, and from late Saturday night to early Saturday morning, a campaign was run to catch anyone breaking traffic laws.
The city police issued challans to around 1,499 people and collected Rs 1.5 lakh as a fine.
