Indore Launches Special Drive to Clear Encroachments from Major Roads
Indore city is starting a big cleanup to make its main roads easier to travel on.
Officials decided to remove anything that's blocking the roads, like stalls or parked items, from eight busy streets.
They also want to make sure that parking spots in buildings are really being used for parking and not something else.
Additionally, they are planning to remove the BRTS bus lanes, fix roads with potholes, and make sure there are enough tow trucks ready if cars break down.
They will also be checking for old vehicles that shouldn't be on the road and making it easier to give tickets for traffic violations.
Everyone on a bike needs to wear a helmet to stay safe.
Indore's District Road Safety Committee will conduct a special drive to clear encroachments from eight major roads.
The drive aims to ease traffic congestion and improve road safety in the city.
Building basements approved for parking will be re-inspected to ensure proper usage.
Other measures include BRTS corridor removal, action against unfit vehicles, and increased online challan points.
Mandatory helmet usage for all two-wheeler riders will be strictly enforced.
