Informing that awareness drives have been conducted in this regard, the SP said, “This is to remind the general public that Shillong Traffic Police will enforce the same from December 1, 2020 and any violation of the above direction, violators will be booked under Section 194 D of Motor Vehicle (Amendment) Act, 2019.”
