This not only causes damage to the roads, but there is also a risk of vehicles overturning. To crack down on overloading, the team of Motor Vehicle Inspector (MVI) of the state along with the police is running a campaign on national highways and border areas. Overloading is being monitored. This campaign has been intensified from 2020. To prevent overloading, fines are being imposed on vehicles.
