Gujarat High Court: Citywide Traffic Enforcement Must Be Continuous, Not Occasional

The Gujarat High Court noted recent drives in Ahmedabad against wrong-side driving, illegal parking, and encroachment, including vehicle impounding and awareness campaigns.

Between July 29 and August 4, police filed 77 FIRs and seized 46 vehicles for wrong-side driving.

The bench cautioned that such efforts must be continuous and citywide, not limited to court dates or high-visibility zones. Authorities were warned they would be held accountable if violations persisted.

The matter will be heard next on August 13.
