Traffic violators in Dharavi and Mahim were given red roses by activists, local residents, and the police on Thursday as part of the Road Safety Month event organized by Dharavi Social Workers. 

The violators were also advised to follow all the appropriate safety rules including the wearing of seat belts and helmets while plying on the streets. Activists alongside traffic constables were seen holding placards and roses to generate awareness. 

“After stopping the traffic violators, mainly helmetless riders and drivers without seat belts, the traffic constables took them aside. The activists then handed them over roses and requested them to wear helmets and follow traffic safety rules,” a participating official said.

Senior Police Inspector from the Mahim Traffic Division, Milind Kurade said, “Eight constables and three officers took part in this drive. We caught around 125 traffic violators found not wearing helmets or seat belt. We counselled them and none of them was penalised.”

With traffic on the roads only increasing by the day, officials have managed to apprehend several offenders while awaiting the collection of fines from others. Officials have previously said that traffic violations in Mumbai have seen an increase in 2020 compared to 2019 despite being in some form of lockdown for a large part of the year.
