The initiative aimed at making the city free of traffic jams focused on one of the busiest areas, a motor stand in the capital.

Superintendent Das also confirmed that operations were ongoing in the Kaman Chowmuhani area and around the motor stand, with plans to extend the crackdown to other parts of the city. He assured that these measures would be continued to keep the capital free from traffic jams and ensure smoother travel for commuters.
