Checkpoints have been installed in various parts of the city to catch the violators.

Deputy commissioner of police (DCP, traffic) Saumya Mishra said due to high-beam lights, drivers of vehicles coming from the opposite side face visibility issues, which often leads to accidents.

The DCP added that some violators said they weren’t aware of the fact that high-beam lights are banned, and thus police are going to carry out awareness drives.

Cops are also set to start a drive against those driving under the influence of liquor and speeding.
