The new regulation will come into effect within two to three days. The traffic police held a meeting with the e- rickshaw and auto rickshaw unions.

Talking to The Telegraph Online Agarwal said, “Ours is the most congested market in the district. We have around 1000 shops situated along the narrow streets. We perpetually face traffic congestion.
