New Delhi: Delhi Traffic Police fined over 4,500 motorcyclists for various offences with the majority of them being challaned for riding two-wheelers without helmets during the Shab-e-Baraat celebrations.
This number is less than last year when more than 5,500 motorists were fined for traffic violations.
The maximum violations last night were reported from areas like Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg, ITO junction, and Lodhi Road, police said.
Twenty-seven vehicles were impounded while as many as 2,101 motorists were challaned for riding without helmets.
Security was stepped up in central and south Delhi yesterday and special traffic arrangements were made for the Shab-e-Baraat festival.
The areas around India Gate were out of bounds for two-wheelers with pickets put up on the roads to prevent stunt biking by youngsters.
