Therefore, a special drive was conducted by the Mira-Bhayander and Mira Road division traffic police for five days, under which they registered more than 2,000 cases and imposed a fine of '7.42 lakh on people caught violating traffic rules.

"Traffic jams are a major menace in Mira Road owing to illegal parking on either side of the road. Moreover, many auto-rickshaw drivers, two-wheeler riders are found violating traffic rules very frequently in the area.
