To tackle one-wheeling on Dahamtore and PMA Bypass roads, specialized teams have been deployed. All sector in-charges have been instructed to maintain checkpoints at various locations to enforce traffic regulations effectively.

After traffic duty hours, the responsibility shifts to the respective SHOs to continue actions against those involved in dangerous activities,” the SSP added.
