The High Court has become strict on traffic improvement in Indore, asking: "Where is the solution? Only 28 out of 92 signals are connected to ITMS; 221 posts of traffic police are vacant."

The Indore bench of the Madhya Pradesh High Court expressed displeasure with the functioning of the Municipal Corporation and related departments over the deteriorating traffic system in Indore, dilapidated roads, and delays in complying with old court orders. The High Court questioned whether filing complaints was enough, and asked where the solutions lay. The hearing, held on Tuesday before a bench of Justices Subodh Abhyankar and Jai Kumar Pillai, highlighted the lack of coordination between traffic signals and the police force's response.
