In Bantwal, police used speed detection radar guns to collect fines from motorists on Monday at Ramalkatte on NH 75. The operation was led by Bantwal traffic police SI Sutesh K P. Sixty-two cases were filed on the first day, and Rs 65,000 in fines was collected. According to police sources, this operation will continue on other roads as well.
However, the public is questioning the fines, as speed limit boards are not clearly displayed on the roads. Many speed limit signboards are covered with dirt, making the limit writing unreadable to motorists.
