JAMMU, Dec 22: The Motor Vehicles Department (Enforcement Wing) has launched a special traffic enforcement drive across the Union Territory to curb traffic violations and enhance road safety.
The drive focuses particularly on habitual offenders and serious traffic violators. Enforcement teams have intensified checking at strategic locations and are taking strict action under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988.
During the last three weeks of December 2025, a large number of violators were booked for offences including over-speeding, wrong-side driving, overloading, driving without a helmet or seat belt, illegal halting, juvenile driving and other violations. As a result, 469 driving licences were suspended, while 419 licences were revoked or disqualified. Additionally, 1,024 cancellation notices were issued to driving licence holders involved in NDPS-related cases, habitual traffic violations and other serious offences.
