Indore (Madhya Pradesh): District administration will concentrate on removing bottlenecks at 14 prominent squares of the city to improve traffic flow. Besides, heavy vehicles’ movement on Banganga Road, Chhawani Anaj Mandi and Loha Mandi too would be regulated to ease traffic pressure.
Besides, the administration also plans to initiate action against drunk driving and traffic rule violation. Licenses of habitual violators would be cancelled. Heavy vehicle drivers would be trained to prevent road accident like Khargone.
