The traffic police have said that all vehicles seized for violating prohibitory orders will be released only after the lockdown is lifted.

As of Thursday, 33,455 seized vehicles were parked at police stations, on the roadside and private parking lots hired by the police.
Even parking lots in shopping malls were being used.
Additional Commissioner of Police, Traffic, A. Arun said, “Until now, personnel have booked over 33,000 cases against motorists for being out without passes or valid reasons. We have detained 26,334 vehicles. We will not release any vehicle until the lockdown is over. We have detained more than 1,500 cars as well.”
