The police in Navi Mumbai have been giving tickets to auto-rickshaw drivers who are not following the rules.
Over three days, they caught 1,575 drivers for many different problems.
Some drivers were caught for refusing to give rides, others for letting too many people into their rickshaws.
Some also didn't wear their uniforms or show their special badges.
The police said this is because many people complained about drivers driving too fast or not following simple rules.
They want to make sure everyone stays safe and traffic keeps moving smoothly, so they plan to do this often.
