pls conduct regular drives for wrong side driving on RT nagar main road at Bangalore One

Also regulate the road side vendors at Ganganagar bus vendors. They are at the edge of the turning causing vehicular congestion

It may be recalled that the Bengaluru city police had on many occasions said that half helmets or non-ISI certified helmets will be considered as ‘no helmets’ in the city.
