He said the Corps deployed five ambulances, patrol vehicles, one heavy-duty tow truck and other operational equipment to major routes and highways, to facilitate effective, smooth operations.
‘This is to ensure free flow of traffic on critical road junctions, and safety of lives and properties on highways,” he said.
According to Matazu, Eid-el-Fitr special patrol operation will run from March 27 to April 2, as 1,348 regular marshals and 541 special marshals would ensure safe, smooth vehicular movement, traffic control and give prompt attention to victims of road traffic crashes.
