Bhubaneswar: A total fine amount of Rs 25 crore has been collected from traffic rule violators in the cities of Cuttack and the state capital in approximately one year.
This information was shared by Twin City police commissioner Sudhanshu Sarangi here Wednesday. He was speaking at the valedictory programme of the month-long ‘Traffic Awareness Month’.
The senior cop said that on the basis of CCTV footages, around 350 challans are being issued every day over violation of traffic rules. The numbers will further increase in next two to three months.
“Police, within one year of implementation of stricter traffic rules, have collected Rs 25 crore as fines from the violators in Cuttack and Bhubaneswar. Do not ever think that you can escape after violating the traffic rules,” Sarangi told the gathering.
“There are certain people who are still not obeying the traffic rules and waiting for the cops to catch them. Then only they will be cautious,” the top cop asserted.
