"This initiative underscores the Jalandhar Police’s commitment to curbing harassment and enforcing road discipline. The crackdown was aimed at creating a safer environment, particularly in school zones and high-footfall areas, and reinforcing the importance of public safety", said traffic officials.

They further said similar drives would continue in the coming months to maintain law and order. They urged citizens to adhere to traffic rules and report any incidents of eve-teasing to help ensure a secure environment for all.
