Speaking to Pune Pulse, Prashant Kanase, Assistant Police Inspector, Bharti Vidyapeeth Traffic Division said, “We have started a traffic awareness campaign in various schools and high schools in the Bharti Vidyapeeth area where we go and explain the students about traffic rules, driving illegally, care to be taken driving & much more. Along with that, we have taken action against 23 school students for driving without a license, without wearing a helmet, rash driving and more on Friday.”

On Friday, the traffic police collected a fine of Rs 79,000 from areas like Dattanagar Chowk, Bharti Vidyapeeth Chowk, Katraj Chowk, Trimurti Chowk, Sarhad Chowk and more.
