DCP Central Raveena Tyaagi said, “Today, all officials and personnel of the Lucknow Police Commissionerate inspected the morning walk areas, ensuring compliance with the Supreme Court’s directives on loudspeakers. Additionally, a campaign was conducted against high-speed bikers. We also interacted with morning walkers to understand their concerns and are committed to providing better facilities.”
In addition, officers were seen enforcing strict rules regarding the use of loudspeakers and launching awareness campaigns against high-speed biking, which is a serious hazard to traffic safety.
