Indore Introduces Portable Tyre Killers and Traffic App
Indore, a city in Madhya Pradesh, has become the first in the state to use portable tyre killers.
These are special tools that can quickly stop unauthorized vehicles by puncturing their tires.
The city traffic police have bought four of these tools, and they plan to get more in the future.
These will be used at the edges of the city to stop heavy vehicles that break rules.
The tyre killers can also help catch criminals.
Additionally, the traffic police are making a mobile app.
This app will give real-time traffic updates, let people report accidents or violations, pay fines, and get emergency help.
It will also have information about traffic rules and how to volunteer to help manage traffic.
The app aims to make traffic management better and keep people safe.
