“During social monitoring, field patrols, and traffic inspections, we have registered 13 cases this year against drivers driving on the wrong side. Specifically, one case was registered in the East Zone, five in the West Zone, one in the South Zone, and six cases in the Manesar Zone. Action has been taken against the offenders under relevant sections of the BNS and Motor Vehicles Act,” he explained.
