Gurugram Police to File FIRs Against Wrong-Side Drivers Amid Rising Accidents

• Gurugram Police will now register FIRs against drivers caught going the wrong way, especially on highways and major roads.
• This strict action comes after previous challans failed to deter habitual offenders, leading to increased accidents.
• In 2025, 2 lakh challans were issued for wrong-side driving; 1.8 lakh in 2024, indicating a persistent issue.
• FIRs will primarily target repeat offenders, but first-time offenders on main roads may also face charges under BNS for reckless driving.
• The move aims to curb everyday negligences like wrong-side driving, overspeeding, and wrong parking, which contribute to accident risks.

Why It Matters: Gurugram Police are escalating enforcement against wrong-side driving by filing FIRs to curb accidents.
