Eleven individuals were fined for violating traffic rules during the vehicle ban hours declared in Malé and Villimalé on the occasion of Eid al-Adha on Friday.

To ensure the safety of families celebrating the holiday, the Malé City Council designated a vehicle-free period from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Eid day, during which vehicular movement was prohibited in both areas.

According to police, 141 individuals were warned for minor violations during this period. In addition to the eleven fines issued, three vehicles were towed for dangerous driving.

Authorities also stopped one individual for driving with an expired licence and detained another for operating a vehicle without a valid licence.
