Bengaluru: In a bid to enable free and safe vehicular movement, the Bengaluru Traffic Police’s South Division will begin a special drive on some roads.
Over 65 roads were identified across the division’s 12 stations based on their importance for traffic movement and the violations frequently reported by road users, local residents, and police personnel.
