The Gurugram Traffic Police have intensified their efforts to curb wrong-side driving, resulting in the registration of FIRs against 13 offenders in just the first two weeks of January 2026.
Background on Traffic Enforcement
In an ongoing effort to enhance road safety, the Gurugram Traffic Police launched a campaign aimed at raising public awareness about the dangers of wrong-side driving. The initiative follows a previous year where the traffic police issued over 200,000 challans for similar offenses.
Recent Developments
This year, approximately 2,000 challans for wrong-side driving have already been documented within the first 14 days. As part of the enforcement strategy, public awareness campaigns were conducted over two weeks prior to the start of enforcement actions. Following this preparatory phase, the police began to file cases against offenders.
Details of the Violations
Of the 13 cases registered this year, reports indicate specific distributions across various zones in Gurugram: one in the East Zone, five in the West Zone, one in the South Zone, and six in the Manesar Zone. Offenders are being prosecuted under the relevant sections of the BNS and Motor Vehicles Act.
Community Response
Local authorities encourage community involvement in monitoring traffic violations and reporting unsafe driving behaviors. The aim is to foster a culture of compliance and awareness among drivers in Gurugram.
This intensified enforcement reflects the police’s commitment to ensuring safer road conditions for all commuters in the area.
