The Director, Directorate of Road Traffic Services (DRTS) Dr. Abdulateef Bello said the impounded vehicles violated several traffic rules, beside being parked at various unapproved parks, including improper registration.
He noted that the exercise would be a routine duty of the team, as there was need to ensure sustainability, while the administration had put measures to close all the illegal parks.
