The travellers on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway and the old highway should buckle up, as the state transport department has decided to crack down on the violators of traffic rules. The drive, which will begin with an awareness campaign for seven days, will run for six months, 24x7.

The drive will start on December 1, and 30 employees from the Regional Transport Offices of Mumbai, Panvel, Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad would be deployed. Twelve squads will be formed for the purpose.
