The district police have procured a fully-equipped interceptor vehicle to keep a close vigil on traffic rule violations that result in serious road accidents.
The newly-acquired vehicle is equipped with speed laser gun and a breath analyser kit. With this, the staff on the vehicle can get a precise record of the speed of a particular vehicle plying on city roads.
The interceptor, which was launched during the recent visit of Guntur Range IG N. Sanjay, would also be used to keep a tab on the moving vehicles on the national highway.
