The Hyderabad Police Commissioner said it had come to his notice that in certain pockets of the city, vehicles that are not permitted to move during the day hours or the category of vehicles prohibited, were plying. “A meeting will be held soon to discuss it and suitable measures will be initiated,” he said.

The city police will explore the feasibility of utilizing the security guards working at business establishments and educational institutions as traffic volunteers. “The security guards will contribute to streamlining the traffic on the road near their place of work. Involvement of other segments of the community for traffic management is also the need of the hour,” Srinivas Reddy said.
