As per the data provided by the Metropolitan Traffic Police Division (MTPD), legal actions have been taken for lane discipline violation, haphazard parking, driving under the influence (DUI) and driving without license.

MTPD Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP), Binod Ghimire, said more than 2000 vehicles are checked on a daily basis in which more than a thousand are subjected to legal action. He said the strict checking on lane violation, DUI, license and parking has resulted in less number of accidents.
