Traffic violators will now be caught using radar-topped interceptors with the help of satellites in the new set of hi-tech vehicles planned to be launched for the annual Road Safety Week in January 2025.
“This is the first time in the country that such vehicles are being procured, and we are now working on installing the radars and other peripheral items.
