The fully equipped interceptors will enable the Police to keep a check on speed violators and the patrolling vehicles will be useful in the enforcement of law thus encouraging motorists to drive safely and follow the traffic rules. The ambulances will help the department to provide speedy medical support to the accident victims, a critical requirement in saving lives."
