Police also reported that 46 individuals were fined over the same period for various traffic-related offences, though the authorities did not provide a breakdown of the reasons for the fines.

Police have recently stepped up enforcement against reckless and illegal driving across the Greater Malé area, carrying out routine towing operations and setting up checkpoints to identify traffic violations.

The intensified efforts coincide with the launch of the Rakkaa campaign by the Maldives Police Service on 8 January. Police said the campaign focuses on raising road safety awareness among school students and the wider public, while also delivering training programmes to promote safer road-use practices. Authorities described Rakkaa as a collaborative initiative aimed at reducing road accidents and encouraging more responsible behaviour on Maldivian roads.
