“Majority of the vehicles are not following the road safety norms. In view of this we have stopped the vehicles and spread awareness among the drivers about the norms to be followed to ensure safety. Most of the vehicles are not having red radium stickers which will help in detecting moving vehicle during nights,” he added.
