A BJP candidate in Haryana has said that he will ensure that "no challan is issued to their vehicles by the authorities" if he gets elected as their representative.
"You will elect me as your MLA from this constituency. It's about drugs abuse, it's about education, the authorities who issue challan to the motorcycle riders- all these small problems would end automatically when your brother or son will become an MLA," BJP candidate Dudaram Bishnoi said while addressing a public gathering.

The traffic police are also running awareness campaigns to inform the public on the traffic rules.
