In accordance with directives from the office of the director general of police (DGP) of Uttar Pradesh, districts across the state are dedicating the month of November to observe ‘Traffic Month.’ The commencement of this special month was marked with vibrant events at the Reserve Police Lines in Agra and Aligarh, bringing renewed hopes for smoother traffic flow throughout November.

A similar event took place in Aligarh, where senior superintendent of police (SSP) Kalanidhi Naithani addressed the attendees.
