Transport dept proposes reduced PUCC fines: Rs 1,000 for two-wheelers, Rs 2,000 for others

Odisha's transport department proposes slashing PUCC violation fines from Rs 10,000 to Rs 1,000 for two-wheelers and Rs 2,000 for other vehicles. This move follows public outcry and aims to ease motorist burden. Stricter enforcement is slated to resume April 1, with the government reconsidering its 'no PUCC, no fuel' policy.
