Highlighting the urgency, during the recent special enforcement drives on October 13 and 14 alone, 2,345 violations were recorded. Joint Commissioner of Police D Joel Davis, IPS, spearheading the traffic wing, personally appealed to motorists to refrain from this risky practice, emphasising that “No Call Is More Important Than a Life.”
In Hyderabad, using a handheld mobile phone while driving attracts a Rs 5,000 fine, with repeat offences potentially leading to higher penalties and case escalations.
