Visakhapatnam police conducted checks at the Dwaraka Bus Station and Maddilapalem RTC depot, according to The Hindu report published on October 11, 2026.

The action comes amid heightened attention to passenger safety in the city’s bus transport network. Recent enforcement efforts have focused on reports of reckless driving and drivers allegedly operating private buses under the influence of alcohol.

Police have also urged passengers to report suspected drunk driving or unsafe driving practices so that officers can intervene. Such checks are aimed at improving road safety and reducing risks to commuters travelling within the city and on long-distance routes.

Note: The available search results confirm the locations and the report, but do not provide the full details of the inspections or the number of vehicles and drivers checked. Those specifics have therefore not been included.
