Rajasthan Police’s ‘Traffic Strike’ Triggers Panic: Over 50,000 Vehicles Penalized in 6 Days; Massive Crackdown on Black Films and Illegal Hooters

JAIPUR (June 10, 2026): To fortify road safety and strictly penalize traffic violators, the Rajasthan Police’s special statewide campaign has entered its most rigorous phase. Operating under the direct supervision of Director General of Police (DGP) Rajiv Kumar Sharma, this massive ‘Traffic Strike’ has initiated a strict clampdown on non-compliant vehicle owners across the state.

In just six days, law enforcement agencies have registered penal actions against a staggering 50,174 vehicles. On the sixth day (June 9) alone, the department recorded its highest single-day execution with 10,825 challans issued. The police are tightening the noose around vehicles equipped with illegal black window tints, unauthorized nameplates, VIP-style hooters, and illegal modifications under their policy framework of “Counseling first, strictness later.”

‘Counseling Before Strictness’ Policy Yields Results

Additional Director General of Police (Traffic) Dr. B.L. Meena stated that the campaign is being executed under the close supervision of DG Traffic Shri Anil Paliwal. The initiative is structured as a direct intervention to reduce road fatalities and manage public safety effectively.

Statement from ADG Traffic Dr. B.L. Meena:

“Rajasthan Police is driving this initiative on the principle of ‘First counseling, then strictness.’ While widespread awareness programs were conducted in the initial stages, we are now taking uncompromised legal action against deliberate violators. The use of illegal black window films often obscures criminal activities, while unauthorized pressure horns are major sources of public noise pollution. Our primary objective is to make public roads fundamentally safe for ordinary citizens.”

Sharp Focus on Non-Standard Nameplates and Alterations

The crackdown heavily targeted individuals driving vehicles with caste-indicative words, unauthorized political designations, fake official symbols, or deliberately obscured registration plates. In 6,791 such instances, police teams stripped off unapproved stickers and seized non-standard display elements on the spot. Furthermore, vehicles found with structural changes violating standard manufacturing dimensions were booked under strict clauses of the Motor Vehicles Act.

The traffic department has urged citizens to ensure full compliance with standard vehicular codes. Vehicle owners must avoid retrofitting unauthorized auxiliary gear such as sirens, strobe lights, or modified exhaust silencers, as continuing violations under this active strike may result in immediate vehicle impoundment.
