New Delhi: Traffic Police have announced a tough enforcement plan as part of their 2026 road safety resolution, warning of strict action against traffic violators during the Christmas and New Year celebrations. Officials said special teams will be deployed across key junctions, nightlife hubs and residential areas to prevent drunken driving, overspeeding and reckless behaviour on roads.
Daily Drives to Continue Year-Round
According to senior officers, the crackdown will not be limited to the festive period. From January 2026, traffic police will conduct daily checking drives focusing on helmetless riding, seatbelt violations, triple riding, wrong-side driving and use of mobile phones while driving. Authorities said the aim is to bring discipline on roads through consistent enforcement rather than sporadic action.
Stern Warning for Hooliganism
Issuing a clear warning, traffic police said hooliganism on roads during celebrations will invite heavy fines, suspension or cancellation of driving licences and, in serious cases, arrest. Special emphasis will be placed on checking drunk driving at night, with additional breathalyser tests planned during peak hours.
Officials added that public cooperation is crucial for reducing road accidents and fatalities. “Celebrations should not turn into tragedies. Our resolution for 2026 is clear—safer roads through strict enforcement and responsible driving,” a senior traffic police official said.
