To ensure vehicle owners comply with traffic rules, the committee discussed installing sensor-based cameras and implementing an e-challan system similar to Jaipur.

Removing Pencil Divider at Court Chauraha

An issue was raised regarding the creation of an unofficial parking area due to a pencil divider at the corner of Chetak Circle Road. The committee decided to remove this pencil divider to prevent further parking issues.
