A police spokesman said vigilant traffic wardens have been deployed on Jail Road, Main Boulevard, Ferozepur Road, and Canal Road to control the deadly spot of one-wheeling.
While chairing a meeting with the officers and sector in-charges of the Cantonment, Ring Road, Gulberg and Defence, CTO Sohail Chaudhry warned the officers that if any complaint regarding one-wheeling was reported, the concerned officers would be held accountable.
