They say 27 drivers were booked for speeding in the Southern Division, 9 drivers in the Eastern Division, 44 in the Western Division while 16 drivers were booked in the North.

20 drivers were arrested for drunk driving in the same period which includes 2 in the Southern Division, 6 in the Eastern Division and 12 in the Western Division.
