Sopore, Nov 9: In a bid to strengthen traffic discipline and enforce road safety norms, the Motor Vehicles Department (MVD) Baramulla conducted an extensive enforcement drive along the Narbal–Tangmarg route.

The drive was carried out under the directions of the Transport Commissioner, J&K, and supervised by ARTO Baramulla Mukhtar Ahmad Sofi. The operation aimed to ensure strict compliance with the Motor Vehicles Act and traffic regulations.
