Traffic offenders in Delhi had to pay hefty fines for violating road rules with 3,900 challans issued in the city between Saturday midnight and Sunday evening- the first day of amended provisions of the Motor Vehicle Act coming into effect.

Over 2,500 traffic policemen were deployed across the national capital from Saturday midnight with Joint Commissioner of Police (Traffic) level officers overseeing the operations the entire day.

The amended provisions of the Motor Vehicle Act with as many as 63 clauses of the Act, correspond to increase in penalty/fine for a traffic rule violation, and was brought into effect from September 1, 2019.

The revised structure of fines for traffic violators ranges from jumping the red-light of which the fine has been revised from Rs 1,000 to Rs 5,000 to driving without wearing the seat belt, which earlier invited a fine of Rs 100, will now attract a fine of Rs 1000.
