Cops book over 18K cases against traffic violators in a week
Hyderabad: In a bold move to enhance the safety and security of city roads, the traffic police launched a comprehensive enforcement drive aimed at curbing violations and booked cases against violators. They booked 14,917 cases against wrong-side driving and 3,881 cases against number-plate violations.
The police booked 18,798 traffic violators during the special drive from May 20 to 26 targeting wrong-side violators that pose significant risks to commuters' safety and disrupt the flow of traffic. The drive focused on irregular/improper number-plates. The main purpose of commuters resorting to wrong-side driving appears to be avoiding extra miles for taking 'U' turns. This is the clear major violation which obstructs and creates confusion to other commuters. Improper number plates are to avoid traffic challans.
According to the police, despite restrictions, many motorists continue to engage in the unsafe practices, causing confusion, panic and even accidents. The wrong-side driving obstructs other motorists, making it a significant concern for law enforcement. The traffic police have appealed to motorists: 'Crossing over into oncoming traffic lanes is a disaster; drive on the right side.'
The police reiterated their call to the public to obey road rules and contribute to a safer Hyderabad. 'Follow traffic rules. Let's keep Hyderabad safe.' They appealed to the citizens: 'Don't hide your identity, display your number plate with pride.'
The citizens are urged to report traffic violations through the Hyderabad Traffic Police official social media accounts on Facebook and X (Twitter), or by calling the Traffic Help Line at 9010203626.

Average speed of vehicle in city is 25 kmph: Hyd'bad police chief
Hyderabad: Hyderabad City Police Commissioner C V Anand emphasised that the average vehicle speed in the city has significantly increased to 24 to 25 kilometres per hour, up from last year's 17 to 18 kmph. The Commissioner attributed these positive results to the diligent efforts of the Hyderabad Traffic Police and extended his sincere thanks to everyone involved. On Friday, during a review meeting on traffic problems in Hyderabad City and their solutions, C V Anand noted that approximately 1,600 new vehicles are added to the roads every day. Across the three Commissionerates, a staggering total of 91 lakh vehicles are on the roads daily. During the meeting, the Commissioner provided guidance on the fundamental principles of traffic control and management. He stated that currently, 80 per cent of traffic signals in Hyderabad are operating on auto mode, which is effectively helping to clear traffic quickly. Regarding traffic violations, police are focusing on the quality of penalties rather than merely the quantity of fines imposed. This strategic approach, he explained, has led to a reduction in overall traffic fines. 'We are monitoring Hyderabad's traffic through drone cameras. To further improve Hyderabad's traffic system, we are taking assistance from Google. In addition to Google Maps, Google is also providing us with technical support,' he revealed. The Commissioner highlighted that, with the cooperation of owners of high rise multi storied buildings in Hyderabad, 25 'high rise cameras' are being installed on these buildings to obtain an 'Eagle View'. Through these, traffic officials can proactively identify traffic problems, alert local traffic authorities, and provide suggestions for appropriate solutions.

Ju Haknyeon controversy: Kirara Asuka speaks out against 'misinformation' over meeting ex-THE BOYZ member
Ex-THE BOYZ member Ju Haknyeon and former Japanese AV actress Kirara Asuka are currently all over the internet due to their secret meet-up getting exposed. They were seen being visibly cuddly during and a K-media report even alleged that they engaged in pr*stitution. The information, which the parties involved claimed to be false, spread like wildfire on social media. On June 20, Kirara Asuka finally responded to the allegations. Kirara Asuka denies involvement in pr*stitution with Ju Haknyeon Kirara Asuka finally presented her side of the story in the ongoing narrative surrounding her being involved in pr*stitution with Ju Haknyeon. The Japanese p*rnstar-turned-influencer took to her X (formerly Twitter) account to deny the allegations, calling them false rumors. She wrote, "There is a lot of speculation going around, but we have yet to see an article from Shūkan Bunshun [Japanese weekly tabloid]. Please do not spread misinformation." Shūkan Bunshun was the media outlet that claimed to have obtained photos of Kirara Asuka and the former THE BOYZ member, displaying affectionate behavior. The photos were from their meeting at a private bar in Tokyo's Roppongi district on May 29, along with a few other acquaintances. Addressing that, the accused said that it was another woman present there who actually took the photos and "sold it to Bunshun." As per Kirara Asuka, the woman did so because she apparently liked Ju Haknyeon when she saw him at the bar. That was the beginning of the entire scandal, which ultimately led to the unilateral removal of Ju Haknyeon from THE BOYZ by their agency, ONE HUNDRED. Regarding engaging in intimate acts with the K-pop artist, she stated, "I have never in my life engaged in a paid sexual act (prostitution) in private. Of course, this is one of those times [when such allegations were made]." Fans appreciated her being brave enough to speak up and showed their trust in her. They also sympathized with her for being dragged into such an unwanted situation, where her past and private life were being digged up. They asked her to stay strong and face the situation head-on.
