In what is considered as a good move, Telangana traffic police have come up with an innovative initiative by making citizens part of traffic governance. Hyderabad Traffic police are taking help of 1200 residents of city, of which most of them are senior school students, to regulate traffic during peak hours. As part of the initiative, about 1200 citizens were serving as traffic volunteers in Hyderabad of which daily 200 to 300 would help traffic police during peak hours. All these 1200 citizens were trained by cops in Traffic Training Institute in order to make them professionals.
The move not only cut costs to the government but also brings awareness among students, citizens and inculcate traffic rules among them. Since most of these 1200 citizens are senior school students, they’re usually deployed at School zones in the city where they do their bit during the bell timings for starting/dismissal for the day.
Hyderabad Additional Commissioner of Police (Traffic) Jitender proudly states that they’re nominating citizens as ‘traffic volunteers’. He says that they’re planning to increase the number of ‘traffic volunteers’ and looking to train more at Traffic Training Institute. Involving citizens in the governance has been a huge hit across the world. Let’s hope that it works in Telangana too.
