Intensive Road Safety Drive Conducted in Bareilly

The Bareilly Police conducted a special, intensive checking campaign on September 12 and 13, aiming to curb road accidents and ensure effective compliance with traffic regulations. This two-day operation, carried out under the direction of the Senior Superintendent of Police and the Superintendent of Police, Traffic, involved a thorough inspection of a total of 6,255 vehicles.

During the crackdown, strict punitive action was taken against drivers under the Motor Vehicles Act for offenses including drunk driving, using modified silencers, pressure horns, and employing faulty number plates. Joint teams comprising traffic police, the transport department, and local police stations were stationed at five major toll plazas in the district: Thiria Khetal, Mudiya, Dohna, Labhera, and Faridpur. These teams operated from 8 PM to 11 PM, utilizing interceptor vehicles equipped with breath analyzers and decibel meters to inspect suspicious vehicles.

Significant Fines and Violations Identified

The comprehensive campaign resulted in 352 drivers being found in violation of traffic rules, leading to the imposition of substantial fines amounting to a total of Rs 22,94,000. The most frequent violations were related to the use of faulty number plates, with 192 challans issued for this offense.

Additionally, 60 challans were issued for drunk driving, 95 for the use of pressure horns, and four for the illegal use of modified silencers. This action underscores the police's commitment to road safety and their objective of making the roads safer for everyone.

'Meet and Greet' Initiative and Public Appeal

Amidst the strict checking, the Bareilly Police also engaged with families passing through the toll plazas as part of their 'Meet and Greet' initiative. Female police personnel interacted with travelers, inquired about their well-being, and offered assistance with any travel-related issues.

On this occasion, the Bareilly Police appealed to all citizens to adhere strictly to traffic rules. The police emphasized that drunk driving and the use of illegal equipment such as pressure horns or modified silencers are not only unlawful but also extremely dangerous. Maintaining a safe traffic system is a collective responsibility of every citizen, and strict actions against lawbreakers will continue in the future.
