In a bid to bolster compliance with road traffic regulations, Nashik Traffic cops have initiated a week-long special checking campaign. The campaign, slated from April 3 to April 9, 2024, stems from a comprehensive review meeting concerning road accidents in the city. This meeting was presided over by Police Commissioner Sandeep Karanik, Deputy Commissioner Chandrakant Khandvi, and Assistant Police Commissioner Ambadas Bhushare.
The primary objective of this initiative is to instill a culture of strict adherence to road traffic rules among motorists and vehicle owners.
