The resolve of traffic police to take strict actions against people for breaking rules is translating on the ground. They are not just penalising but also arresting the rule breakers. The cops are getting especially tough on the people who run their vehicles on the wrong side.

The arrested people are being released only after the deposits of personal bonds. The traffic police have arrested more than 150 people for running their vehicles on the wrong side in a week.

People travelling from Delhi used to become very ignorant about the traffic rules as soon as they entered Noida. They do not hesitate to run vehicles without wearing seat belts, helmets and on the wrong sides.

Now, with the strict approach of the traffic police, there is fear among people to break rules in Noida.

Anil Kumar Jha, SSP traffic police, said, “Most of the people used to take pride in breaking traffic rules. To dissuade these people, the SSP of Gautam Budh Nagar had instructed arrest of rule breakers. People are being arrested for wrong side driving and are only released on the deposit of personal bonds.”

“The traffic police have arrested more than 150 people for the wrong side driving in a week’s time. FIRs have been registered in the police stations. We will continue to arrest people for the wrong side driving in Noida,” said Jha.
