Bhubaneswar: Rash driving in Odisha capital will soon be under scanner as the Bhubaneswar Smart City Limited (BSCL) is all set to install speed detectors at various important junctions across the city.

According to sources, those driving at a speed exceeding the specified limit will be issued notice by the Twin City Commissionerate Police. While the notice will be sent to the residence of the violator, a photo of the moment of rash driving will be captured by CCTV cameras installed along with the speed detectors.
