Telangana Police 'Follow Traffic Rules or Lose Licence'

Aiming to reduce road accidents across Telangana, the state police department is preparing to take stringent action against traffic violators.

Authorities are now moving to strictly enforce the ‘points system’, under which repeated violations can lead to the cancellation of a driver’s licence. 

Though the system has been in place for some time, officials admitted that coordination issues between the police and transport departments had slowed its



implementation. 

The departments now plan to strengthen technical coordination to ensure seamless data sharing and timely action.

Director General of Police (DGP) Shivadhar Reddy recently highlighted the alarming trend, noting that road accidents claim nearly ten times more lives than murders in the state. 

He has directed officials to take all necessary steps to curb accidents and enforce traffic discipline without compromise.
