Strict penalties were imposed under the Motor Vehicles Act.
During the campaign, 548 cases were registered for signal jumping, while another 6,440 cases were booked for various other traffic violations. In total, 6,988 motorists were penalized, resulting in fines amounting to ₹71,22,850. This marks the most significant enforcement action against signal jumping in Nagpur in the past two years.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Traffic, Archit Chandak, stated that the October 17 campaign was just the beginning of a series of planned operations aimed at reducing traffic rule violations.

The Nagpur Traffic Police have appealed to all residents to cooperate by following traffic rules to ensure their own safety and the safety of others on the road.
