With revellers flocking to the streets to celebrate Holi, the police are vigilant in enforcing traffic regulations to prevent accidents and ensure the safety of motorists and pedestrians.
The focus of the checks is on identifying and penalising individuals found driving under the influence of alcohol, a common concern during festive occasions when alcohol consumption may be higher.
By conducting these checks, the Mumbai Traffic Police aim to deter individuals from engaging in risky behavior and promote responsible and safe practices on the roads.
Meanwhile, revellers across Mumbai participated in Holi celebrations, embracing the tradition of smearing each other with coloured powders as they mark the arrival of spring and symbolise the victory of good over evil.
Holi, known as the Festival of Colours, holds deep cultural significance, representing unity, joy, and the triumph of righteousness, celebrated by people of all backgrounds and communities.
Joyful gatherings are common during Holi, with people coming together to enjoy music, dance, and the playful throwing of coloured powders.
As Mumbai embraces the spirit of Holi, efforts by the Mumbai Traffic Police ensure that the celebrations are not only vibrant and joyful but also safe and free from preventable accidents.
