Telangana govt forms squads to monitor lorries, buses and mining vehicles

The Telangana government has prepared a detailed action plan to strengthen enforcement in the transport sector and take strict action against vehicles that violate road safety rules. 

The aim is to reduce road accidents through constant monitoring and quick penalties.

Transport Minister Ponnam Prabhakar reviewed the situation with senior Transport Department officials at the Secretariat. He instructed that enforcement checks be increased across all districts. 

As



part of the plan, 33 district-level teams and three state-level flying squads will conduct surprise inspections every day.

Under the new system, all enforcement teams will receive their daily inspection routes at 6 a.m. from senior officials. 

The checks will mainly focus on overloaded lorries and buses, vehicles transporting sand, fly ash, and stones, as well as vehicle fitness certificates, pollution compliance, and pending challans. Vehicles found violating rules will be seized and fined heavily.
