The drive was launched following complaints that the abandoned vehicles occupied space on the roads and led to traffic problems and accidents, the DCP said.
She further said the police have informed the owners of such vehicles over phone and on public announcement system to immediately remove their vehicles from the public places failing which those will be towed.
