Ludhiana, April 5 -- The District Transport Office has taken strict action against traffic violations, issuing 1,764 challans to commercial vehicles between October 1, 2023, and March 31, 2025. During this period, 155 vehicles were blacklisted for failing to pay their fines on time.

District transport officer Kuldeep Bawa said, "We launched this drive a few months ago and have issued multiple challans for overloading and other violations. Initially, over 400 vehicles were blacklisted for non-payment of fines. While many have now cleared their dues, 155 vehicles remain blacklisted."

Vehicle owners and transporters have raised concerns about the lengthy process of removing vehicles from the blacklist.
