The Patiala District Commissioner (DC) has issued a directive to municipal officials to systematically identify and address accident-prone locations throughout the city.
The directive follows a review of recent traffic incidents that highlighted specific stretches where collisions were frequent. Officials are to conduct spot checks, map high-risk junctions, and implement corrective measures such as improved signage, better lighting, and traffic calming devices.
The DC emphasized that the initiative aims to reduce road casualties and streamline traffic flow, particularly in densely populated areas.
