Mumbai: The Mumbai Traffic Police posted a video on X on Tuesday, showing traffic officials clearing debris from the Ghatkopar Flyover after a spill of glass and medical waste.
The quick response of Vikhroli Traffic Division officials, including PH Atyane, PH Dagade, PN Choudhary, PN Pawra, and PN Sonawne, helped prevent potential tyre damage and traffic disruptions.
Meanwhile, in Navi Mumbai, the traffic police conducted a special operation targeting major traffic violations including seatbelt and helmet non-compliance, drunk driving, and lane indiscipline on Thursday.

The police emphasized that these offences contribute to road accidents and pledged to take strict action against repeat offenders.
