Officials said the initiative aims to promote safer driving habits and raise awareness about the dangers of using mobile phones on the road. The police emphasized that talking or texting while driving diverts attention and significantly increases the risk of accidents.
The Hyderabad Traffic Police have also urged citizens to cooperate with the ongoing campaign, stressing that road safety is a shared responsibility. Authorities warned that similar checks will continue across the city in the coming days, and violators will face strict penalties under traffic laws.
Motorists are advised to use hands-free devices or pull over safely before attending to calls or messages. “A few seconds of distraction can cost a life,” a senior officer reminded.
