"The government has banned three-wheelers on highways. But these three-wheelers were plying the two highways at different points," said the OC.

The OC further said they will continue the drive against three-wheelers on the highway to prevent accidents and ensure smooth traffic.

In 2015, the government banned three-wheelers on 22 national highways across the country to curb road accidents and loss of lives.
