Bhubaneswar, the capital of Odisha, faces a pressing challenge due to a surging number of vehicles congesting its roads. This surge has led to increased traffic rule violations, significantly endangering drivers. In response, Bhubaneswar Traffic Police have enacted stringent regulations, accompanied by substantial fines for transgressors. Paradoxically, these fines have failed to alleviate the issue and have, in some cases, exacerbated it. Consequently, the city actively explores innovative solutions to enhance road safety and mitigate traffic infractions. In addition to fines, obtaining comprehensive car insurance remains a critical component in ensuring safety on Bhubaneswar’s busy streets, providing a safety net for unexpected incidents.
