In this traffic city where in full attention is needed for driving but many of the driver including many car owner driving vehicle which also includes 2 wheeler’s drivers as well might be using mobile phone without worrying about cops and life of the other vehicles on road.
The traffic police have decided to launch a crackdown on those driving vehicles while speaking on cellphone.The police have strengthened the vigil.Video footage is enabling us to record more such cases.It can be used as evidence for suspension.We have 187 traffic surveillance cameras across the city, additional commissioner for traffic M A Saleem said.
