  "account": "Indore Collector Shivam Verma instructed officials to hasten the building of roads, bridges, and flyovers while ensuring repairs to diversion and service roads are completed promptly. During a District Road Safety Committee meeting, Verma urged minimizing commuter disruption during construction, with DCP Rajesh Tripathi, additional collector Navjeevan Vijay Pawar, and departmental officials in attendance. Construction agencies were told to meet deadlines and widen crucial left turns to boost traffic flow and cut congestion. Black spot accident-prone areas were identified for priority improvements. Pedestrian safety was stressed, with pedestrian crossings overseen and measures taken against speeding vehicles. Traffic monitoring was to be strengthened. Junction upgrades were to be completed on time and their effects evaluated. Two-wheeler riders must wear helmets; car occupants seat belts. Overspeeding cameras aided by the Intelligent Traffic Management System (ITMS) are being installed. Pending repairs and blacktopping must be finished swiftly to avert accidents and inconvenience. The committee will inspect major intersections in person. 24 sites were pinpointed for paid parking, with a pilot project at five locations to test organized parking for about ten days, free of charge.
