In a coordinated effort to enforce road safety regulations, Udupi police registered 203 cases against school-operated vehicles that were found violating traffic norms. The operation resulted in the collection of Rs 71,000 in fines, reflecting a significant crackdown on unauthorized use of school transport.
These vehicles, often used to ferry students between homes and schools, had been repeatedly cited for exceeding speed limits or operating without proper permits. Police action demonstrated a commitment to tightening enforcement in the district, with officers citing the need for stricter compliance to protect children and reduce congestion on major routes.
Authorities say the surge in fines is part of a broader campaign to improve traffic flow and safety standards city‑wide. Source: Google News – Udupi.
