Gurugram, Nov 11 (PTI) Gurugram traffic police impounded two motorcycles with 73 pending challans carrying outstanding fines of Rs 2.78 lakh during a traffic checking drive, an official said on Wednesday.
The action was part of a drive against vehicle owners who repeatedly violate traffic rules and disregard road safety regulations, police said.
A team led by Assistant Sub-Inspector Yudhvir, the zonal officer for Wazirabad Chowk, intercepted the two motorcycles during a routine checking operation and examined their documents.
Verification revealed that 44 challans carrying fines of Rs 1,77,500 were pending against one motorcycle, while the second had 29 challans involving fines of Rs 1,00,500, a senior traffic police officer said.
Most of the challans were related to violations such as riding without a helmet, driving without valid vehicle insurance and operating vehicles without a valid Pollution Under Control (PUC) certificate, he said.
As the riders failed to produce the required documents, both motorcycles were impounded in accordance with the law, the officer added.
Gurugram traffic police said strict action would continue against those repeatedly violating traffic rules. It also urged vehicle owners and riders to wear helmets and ensure that their vehicles have valid insurance, PUC certificates and all other mandatory documents. PTI COR MDO
