“Deploying more men or enforcement will be there, however, we are hopeful of witnessing a good lane driving discipline as deterrence cases have come up now, those indulging in the practice will be more careful now, and the traffic authorities and J&K police are also on ground as far as enforcement is concerned”, DC Ramban added.
