Kerala Implements 24/7 Enforcement Zones on National Highways to Curb Accidents
The Kerala government has introduced a 24/7 enforcement system on national highways by dividing the state into six zones, each about 100 km long, to address overspeeding, traffic violations, and accidents. Special enforcement teams comprising Motor Vehicle Inspectors and other officials will operate in shifts across these zones. The initiative aims to reduce fatalities and enhance enforcement visibility, following a recent fatal bus accident linked to overspeeding. Zone boundaries and team deployments will be managed by respective Deputy Transport Commissioners.
