While the drive is important, I hope it was conducted fairly and not just to meet targets. Sometimes during these festivals, the checking feels more like harassment than safety. Please be respectful to citizens who are celebrating.

Western Range top with 969 challans? Not surprising, the traffic there is always chaotic. But nearly 5000 total fines in one day! People really need to be more responsible, festival or not. Safety first, bhai log.

As someone new to Delhi, I appreciate this. The roads can be overwhelming during festivals. Seeing enforcement of rules like helmets and seatbelts makes me feel a bit safer. Hope they continue this beyond festivals too.

The numbers speak for themselves. So many people breaking rules on a festival day. We need more awareness campaigns along with these drives. Just issuing challans won't change behavior in the long run.
