With the menace of defaulters of traffic rules increasing everyday, the police in the city are being are ruthless in issuing fines as ever, regardless of how important or how unimportant the law-breakers are.
Despite the fact that the population, and hence the vehicular traffic, is increasing at an alarming rate; no proper measures are being taken to streamline the traffic. Add to this the apathy with which Hyderabad commuters treat road rules and regulations, and you get the complete chaos that is traffic in Hyderabad.
The cops aren't taking this lying down, either. Repotedly, fines are being issued to around 5000 people everyday. In the year 2012 alone, 20.13 lakh fines have been issued up until the month of October.
Misdemeanours include speeding, parking in "No Parking" zones, breaking signals, driving in the wrong direction, lack of documentation etc.
