“We will compile records of people who have broken traffic rules. It will have effects during their police verification for a passport or any other purpose”, Venkatesham had earlier said.

The decision has been taken to bring traffic sense among Puneites who have made their name for not following traffic rules, which results in accidents and jams often. People have lost lives due to their reckless driving. Every year about 400 persons die on roads in Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad.
