The personnel have also cleaned the footpaths, rectified signboards, signal lights and traffic police islands (chowkis) within their jurisdiction.

Additional commissioner of police (traffic) P Harishekaran had said that, “I visited a few police stations recently and found that not everything was in order and clean.

This is another attempt to make our police stations look good, more organised and, of course, people-friendly.”
