With the number of ever increasing vehicles on roads, combating traffic, negotiating with some enraged and undisciplined drivers, I bet it takes more than just a driving skill to take on roads these days. The enforcement is doing its bit to help lessen the traffic chaos on roads and also to duly punish the offenders. The Traffic Police Chandigarh resorted to came online so as to interact with the public through the medium they are most comfortable with. Coming on-board with the most famous Social Networking site 'Facebook' in June this year, public has welcomed the initiative full-throttle. From posting pictures, to get clarifications regarding various activities and traffic laws that exist, this initiative has not only enhanced the Traffic Police public image but has also tried to win back the confidence of the people at large. No doubts this strategy has proven successful with the Police issuing 644 challans/traffic tickets against violators in two months on traffic violations which were evident via the pictures uploaded by the city residents.
Now other strategy to be launched today in order to inform the public about traffic situations in the city, Traffic Police Chandigarh is going to start with 'SMS' alerts. The SMS Cellphone subscribers will get information on traffic jams, security arrangements, diversions together with certain tips on Road Safety. Other cities in which this service is already operational are Bangalore, Gurgaon, Hyderabad, Kolkata and New Delhi.
Now that the Police is going Hi-tech, the outreach will be immense and steps like these are more than welcome.
