The Motor Vehicles Department (MVD) took strict action against students for committing traffic violations. Five students were apprehended by MVD for traveling dangerously on a two-wheeler on the Thrikkakara Pipeline Road. A fine of ₹1,000 was imposed for five people traveling on a single two-wheeler, and an additional ₹500 was fined to three students who were not wearing helmets, totaling ₹2,500. Separately, action was taken against a private college student for modifying a car's silencer and driving it in the open area. This illegal modification was found during a vehicle check on the InfoPark Express Way, resulting in a fine of ₹12,000. Another student from Kodath, who was also involved in similar violations, had his driving license suspended after a complaint from locals regarding the modified silencer and loud noise.
