Police officials said that weekend checking was organised at Vijay Nagar Square on Saturday night to ensure that no anti-social elements are roaming around in the city and indulging in any sort of crime.
“Action against the auto-rickshaws has been launched on the directions of Madhya Pradesh High Court. Many of the rickshaws seized were running without permit, while many were plying without the mandatory pollution under control (PUC) certificates,” ARTO Archana Mishra said.
The meeting was attended by social organisations, media groups, NCC, NSS etc. These organisations took the responsibility of one square each for running a public awareness campaign and appealing to the people to stop their vehicle's engines during a red light.
