To check violations of traffic rules & regulations by DTC drivers, necessary prosecution is regularly undertaken by Delhi Police against erring DTC drivers. In addition, refresher courses are also organized by Delhi Police for DTC drivers from time to time to educate and sensitize them towards road safety, traffic discipline and importance of observing traffic rules & regulations on Delhi roads.
