“Enforcement work is being taken out round the clock by the traffic police apart from the task of traffic management. Many awareness programmes too were organized across Rachakonda throughout the year to bring down traffic violations,” he said.

Traffic Police officials were monitoring accident data on a regular basis and taking up rectification of black spots with the help of other stakeholders like the National Highway Authority, GHMC and other local municipalities and taking corrective road engineering works.

“Regular meetings are held with officials of various government departments and agencies to take up rectification works at black spots. Based on our inputs, the works are being taken up and sincere efforts put in to reduce the accidents,” Bhagwat said. He asked the people to adhere to traffic rules for their own safety.
