On being informed about the problems faced by the traffic police and wardens while on duty, Felix appealed to the people to be law-abiding citizens and cooperate with the traffic managers.
Lauding the traffic police and wardens for their sincerity in discharging their duties, Felix assured to do whatever he could to address their problems.
