Mysore/Mysuru: Vehicle users, especially two-wheeler riders — who were used for a care-free ride without wearing helmets and flouting traffic rules after lockdown and amidst virus scare — are in for a shock over the last few days as the Traffic Police have started cracking down on even smallest of violations.
The crackdown has netted handsome returns to the Police Department as they have been able to collect Rs. 1,36,61,500 as fines after booking 84,633 cases from Nov. 1 to 30. The virus scare had reduced vehicular movement to a large extent in city and the Traffic Police too had stopped full-fledged enforcement. Taking liberty, motorists and bikers started violating traffic rules, such as riding without a helmet, triple riding, signal jumps, over-speeding and others.
