LUCKNOW, June 4 -- To tackle rising traffic congestion, Lucknow Traffic Police is set to launch fast-response biker patrol units at 42 identified hotspots across the city. These specially trained personnel, riding high-speed racer bikes, will respond swiftly to traffic jams and coordinate in real-time with the central traffic control room to manage vehicular movement, officials said on Wednesday.

The initiative, led by DCP traffic Kamlesh Dixit, will be formally rolled out next week. "Each bike will carry two trained officers equipped with wireless communication sets and public address systems. The teams will remain stationed near high-pressure zones and be ready to move quickly to any reported snarl," Dixit said.
