Small roadside vendors like vegetable sellers would be asked to shift to the end of flanks of roads. This would create more space on roads even as their source of livelihood would not be prevented. Where needed help of Ranchi Municipal Corporation would also be taken.”The SSP has directed that all police stations must cooperate with the traffic police in managing the traffic.
