Union Road and Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari spoke to the media on Monday amid concern over the hefty fines for traffic violations. He attempted to allay the fears of the public by saying that even he had been fined for speeding on the Bandra-Worli sea-link in Mumbai. The Motor Vehicles Amendment Act, approved by President Ram Nath Kovind last month, aims at stricter punishment for violation of traffic regulations and to bring discipline on roads.
