Even I was fined for speeding in Mumbai, says Nitin Gadkari

Assuring citizens that the latest regulations for traffic rule violations were non-discriminatory in nature, Union Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari on Monday said his vehicle was also issued a challan for speeding on Bandra-Worli sea link in Mumbai.

"Even I paid fine for speeding on Bandra-Worli sea link," Gadkari said while listing out the major achievements of the Narendra Modi-led government in its first 100 days, in Mumbai.

The senior BJP leader said that Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and General V K Singh were also issued challans for speeding.

The new laws under the Motor Vehicle Act (2019) aim at stringent punishments for violation of traffic regulations and ensure discipline on roads.
