The speed limit in the area was 40 km\/h, and the alleged speed of the vehicle was recorded at 41 km\/h\u2014just 1 km\/h over the limit. This has sparked widespread criticism, with people questioning whether such minor speed violations warrant heavy fines. Many Agartala residents have taken to social media to express their frustration, with several claiming they too have received unjust fines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"926\" data-id=\"9527\" src=\"https:\/\/aguli.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/img_3216-1-1-1024x926.avif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9527\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aguli.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/img_3216-1-1-1024x926.avif 1024w, https:\/\/aguli.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/img_3216-1-1-300x271.avif 300w, https:\/\/aguli.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/img_3216-1-1-768x695.avif 768w, https:\/\/aguli.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/img_3216-1-1-1536x1389.avif 1536w, https:\/\/aguli.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/img_3216-1-1-860x778.avif 860w, https:\/\/aguli.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/img_3216-1-1-760x687.avif 760w, https:\/\/aguli.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/img_3216-1-1-150x136.avif 150w, https:\/\/aguli.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/img_3216-1-1.avif 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"744\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"9528\" src=\"https:\/\/aguli.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/img_3215-1-744x1024.avif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9528\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aguli.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/img_3215-1-744x1024.avif 744w, https:\/\/aguli.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/img_3215-1-218x300.avif 218w, https:\/\/aguli.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/img_3215-1-768x1057.avif 768w, https:\/\/aguli.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/img_3215-1-860x1183.avif 860w, https:\/\/aguli.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/img_3215-1-760x1046.avif 760w, https:\/\/aguli.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/img_3215-1-150x206.avif 150w, https:\/\/aguli.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/img_3215-1.avif 1056w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 744px) 100vw, 744px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The controversy has intensified following the implementation of the Integrated Command and Control Centre (ICCC), which oversees traffic monitoring.
