The Deputy Commissioner praised the new speed-calming features. He also appreciated the road signage updates that now follow national standards. Moreover, he asked the Engineering Department to speed up kerb-raising work. He instructed teams to repaint zebra crossings quickly and prune trees to improve visibility.

Furthermore, he ordered a special anti-encroachment drive. The drive will cover the roads from PEC to Khudda Alisher and from PGI to Khudda Lahora. Civil Defence Volunteers will support this effort. They will guide pedestrians, manage traffic during rush hours, and help police clear bottlenecks. They will also stop unauthorised vendors from returning.

In addition, officials reviewed the new Traffic Police Assistance Booth. The structure will be ready by the end of December.

The Deputy Commissioner also directed the Health Department to speed up the EDAR emergency system. With this system, medical teams can respond faster, coordinate better, and evacuate victims quickly. It will also ensure free treatment for accident victims and strengthen Chandigarh’s road safety setup.
