He pointed out that instead of addressing critical issues such as road safety and traffic control, the government appears to prioritise fine collection.

Marandi emphasised that while following traffic rules is essential for road safety, the problem cannot be resolved merely by imposing fines. He argued that issues like poor road conditions, faulty traffic signals, and lack of public awareness must first be addressed.
