The Telangana Transport department has launched a comprehensive state-level enforcement drive aimed at reducing road accidents and strengthening vehicle safety compliance.
Over two days, Wednesday and Thursday, the department filed cases against 1,050 vehicles and seized 750 for various violations.
The intensified
enforcement comes in the wake of two major incidents: a private Hyderabad–Bengaluru bus that caught fire in Kurnool district and a collision between a tipper lorry and an RTC bus in Chevella.
In light of these accidents, the department decided to increase inspections on interstate private buses and goods vehicles that often operate beyond safety limits.
