According to Traffic Branch in-charge Umesh Sawant, the drive will continue to ensure that the improved traffic arrangements are maintained on a sustained basis. With traffic personnel deployed during peak hours and strict action being taken against violations, the authorities are stepping up efforts to bring discipline to the station premises and make the area more orderly, safer and free from avoidable traffic congestion.
