According to Mumbai Police data, a total of 4,056 traffic violations were registered on New Year’s Eve 2020. January 02, 2021 / 05:00 PM IST

The Mumbai Traffic Police booked only 35 drunk drivers on New Year’s Eve 2020, as most revelers kept off the streets due to the ongoing pandemic. Most of the apprehended motorists were on two-wheelers.
Yashasvi Yadav, Joint Commissioner of Police (Traffic), said: “Of these 35 violators, all men, 26 violators were bikers, one auto rickshaw driver and eight drivers of four-wheeler.” Fifteen of these vehicles were impounded by the police, while the other 20 were released.
