As per the latest action plan, special squads will be deployed for implementing the new regulations, which will be in force from August 20 to 31. Arrangements are also in place to track violations using digital cameras and drones.
Kozhikode city police have unveiled an action plan to enforce strict traffic regulations during the Onam season from August 20 to 31. Major roads and junctions will be subject to a parking ban, with special squads deployed to ensure compliance. Emergency vehicles will be the only exceptions, and violators will face fines and removal charges for their vehicles.
Parking will be prohibited near bus stops, junctions, and footpaths, and vehicles obstructing traffic near establishments will be targeted. Heavy vehicles will not be permitted between 8 a.m. and 11 p.m., while night services for inter-State buses will be restricted to designated parking spots. Pedestrians are urged to use zebra crossings, and the police will utilize digital cameras and drones to monitor violations.
Public announcements through loudspeakers at major junctions will further enforce the regulations. The police aim to discourage solo travelers in private vehicles from entering the city and emphasize the importance of cooperative motorists in ensuring a safe and smooth festival season.
