Bhubaneswar, Nov 25: The State Transport Authority (STA) has intensified its enforcement of traffic rules and crackdown on reckless driving after a series of accidents in the capital city. On Sunday, the scooter of Jatra actress Rani Priyadarshini was seized for violating traffic laws by shooting a video reel without wearing a helmet.
