Within days of imposing heavy fines under the amended Motor Vehicles Act for traffic violations, the Uttar Pradesh government has now decided to impose fine of Rs.2000 for truck drivers and their helpers if found flouting dress code and wearing ‘lungi’ and ‘banyan’.

Other than that, the drivers are also required to wear closed shoes, hence no chappals (slippers) while driving. Lucknow ASP (traffic) Poornedu Singh asserted that a dress code for truck drivers has been in existence since 1939 as part of Motor Vehicles (MV) Act. He added that till 1989 a fine of Rs 500 rupees was imposed for violation of dress code, and with the modified Motor Vehicle act, now a fine of Rs 2,000 will be slapped for the same.
