March-End Crackdown: Traffic Fines or Year-End Revenue Target?

Report by The Newsage Pune.

Sudden Surge in Traffic Fines at the End of the Financial Year

As the financial year nears its end, traffic police in Pune have intensified their crackdown on rule violators, with officers deployed at key junctions across the city.

Pune Police have been deployed at key traffic junctions in the city, and their dutiful conduct has sparked speculations amongst commuters as to whether the reason for this is purely the safety of passengers or are there any ulterior motives.

Authorities state that this is part of routine enforcement to ensure road safety. However, the sudden surge in traffic fines just before March 31 raises questions about whether the drive is motivated by safety concern or the need to meet annual revenue targets.

A more consistent approach to traffic enforcement throughout the year could help address these concerns and reinforce public confidence in road safety measures.
