    Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Traffic police launched a road safety drive from September 8 to 22 to reduce accident-related deaths and improve road safety across the city.

    Between September 8 and 16, enforcement focused on riders without helmets and drivers not wearing seat belts. However, recent cases show overspeeding, a major cause of accidents, has received little attention.

    Traffic police records show 1,370 challans were issued for helmet violations and 261 for seat belt non-compliance during the drive till September 16. In contrast, only 48 overspeeding cases were recorded in the same period.
