As the ‘Saiyaara’ fever rages in India, Ahmedabad Traffic Police have also joined the trend. Taking to their X account, the police urged citizens to wear helmets while on a drive with their ‘Saiyaara’ using a clip from the movie.
“Going for a drive with Saiyaara? Then make the helmet your companion too… Otherwise, your love will remain incomplete,’ read the post of the city’s traffic police on Thursday.
The post had a video clip of actors Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, who can be seen holding their separate helmets in a scene. The video mentioned, “Alone or with your Saiyaara (partner), you must wear helmets”.
The movie, released on July 18, went to become an instant trend on social media, showing the audiences in the cinema halls getting emotional over the movie. By the fourth day of its release, the collection of this Mohit Suri-directorial had crossed the ₹100-cr mark.
Following a strong rebuke from the Gujarat High Court, Ahmedabad city and traffic police have launched a crackdown on traffic violators.
In just six days—from July 17 to 22, 2025—the Ahmedabad Traffic Police issued 9,377 challans for wrong-side driving, collecting over ₹1.59 crore in fines. The data highlights the city’s persistent struggle with traffic indiscipline and the authorities’ stepped-up enforcement.
The highest number of violations was reported in the SG Highway Zone-2 area, with 1,564 cases and ₹27.76 lakh in fines. This was followed by the B Division traffic police station with 1,440 challans worth ₹23.47 lakh, and Zone M with 1,067 cases amounting to ₹18.04 lakh in penalties.
