Among the 4,972 violators apprehended, the most common infractions involved public drinking and smoking, with 1,745 individuals cited for such offenses.
A significant number of violations also stemmed from public urination, littering, and improper waste disposal, which accounted for 1,020 violators.
In addition, 806 minors were found to be in violation of curfew regulations, while 783 individuals were apprehended for roaming the streets without shirts.
The operation also recorded 271 cases of people using karaoke beyond the permitted hours, 239 violations related to illegal structures and road obstructions, 58 instances of vandalism, and 26 traffic-related offenses.
Of the 4,972 violators, 4,886 were given warnings and released, while 86 individuals were issued fines. No formal charges were filed.
