The senior police official said that, as per the Motor Vehicles Act, a fine of `5,000 will be imposed if a minor is caught driving. He added that the initiative had helped improve road discipline and increase awareness among parents regarding their responsibilities.

The Nandyal traffic police stated that enforcement and awareness drives would continue as part of regular operations. Plans are also being made to conduct additional counselling sessions in schools and junior colleges, and the campaign will soon be expanded to all parts of Nandyal district.
