Officials warned that failure to comply will invite strict action, including challans and impounding of vehicles. The stickers are being issued and applied at the ACP Traffic office in Mansa Devi.

Under the supervision of Traffic station house officer (SHO) Inspector Sunil Kumar, awareness drives were carried out near the Civil Hospital, market areas and traffic signals in Sector 6.

Simultaneously, in Kalka, Sub-Inspector Narendra Kumar, Traffic In-charge of Surajpur, educated drivers outside the Kalka bus stand on the importance of adhering to the new directives and broader traffic norms.
