In order to reduce road accidents, the DGP said the officials were advised to set up signboards and warning signs at accident-prone zones as well as exact reasons for the accidents occurring at particular places.

Refuting allegations on political involvement in cases, the DGP said they prepare charge sheet and send the case to the court immediately after any incident, giving no scope for political involvement.
