Bengaluru Traffic Cops Target E-commerce Couriers for 17K Violations in One Week

City authorities registered 2,670 cases against delivery workers. Out of these, 781 cases were for not wearing helmets while riding, 643 for pillion riders lacking helmets, and 404 for entering restricted roads. The fines collected amounted to Rs 13.78 lakh.

Hey everyone, I’m really struck by how intense this crackdown seems to be. It’s almost like the traffic situation has turned into its own arena for challenges beyond just navigating Bengaluru’s notorious roads. I can’t help but wonder how these fines are affecting the daily lives of the riders—does anyone have thoughts on whether this might push companies to even more strictly manage their delivery operations or maybe even improve safety protocols? Also, I’m curious if any of you have noticed an uptick in delays or if the situation might be serving as a wake-up call for both riders and traffic officials to meet in the middle. What do you think would be an ideal balance between enforcing safety regulations and ensuring smooth delivery operations? Let’s discuss and dig a bit deeper into this!
