| July 21, 2010 | Traffic wing of Delhi police acquires 200 motorbikes ahead of CWG | | New Delhi: Delhi police Commissioner YS Dadwal flagged off 200 new traffic police motorbikes on Tuesday.
The additional traffic control squad is expected to ease traffic chaos ahead of
the October Commonwealth Games. "The process of acquiring new traffic police bikes
started in 2008 and since then 200 motorcycles have been added to the fleet every
year. The bikes have been very effective in making traffic police's presence felt
on city roads. Road accidents have got reduced as people have now become conscious
of traffic rules," Dadwal told reporters. "The bikes help traffic police personnel
to remain mobile and intercept defaulters immediately,'' he added. "Officers recruited
for patrolling on the city roads have been given training. They are also skilled
bikers," he said. "In emergency situations when traffic lights stop working or
when there is a traffic jam, the policemen in this fleet are capable of directing
traffic as well,'' he added. He further claimed that the ongoing digging work
by various government departments and agencies was not clashing with the functioning
of the traffic police. "There was perfect coordination between the traffic police
and civic agencies," he added. | |
