"This festive season has been exceptionally busy for all traffic authorities in the country. They have managed to stop about a million vehicles in all roadblocks that have been set up on all the major national routes and provincial roads," the RTMC said.
Abuse of alcohol, speeding, reckless and negligent driving have emerged as major issues contributing to the high death toll on the roads this festive season.
