Union Civil Aviation Minister P. Ashok Gajapathi Raju on Sunday unveiled a plaque indicating adoption of the S.P. Bungalow Junction as a model one and inauguration of CC cameras on the four sides of the junction.
The police adopted the junction with an intention to control crime and also give the place a facelift.
The junction that is close to the NH-36 and hitherto called Mayuri junction has now been renamed as SP Bungalow Junction.
After unveiling the plaque and the cameras, Mr. Ashok thanked the police for adopting the junction and said the department had now been coming closer to people who earlier used to have an altogether different opinion about them.
He said adoption of other junctions by the elite of the town would surely change the physical view of the ‘oldest town.’
Superintendent of Police L.K.V. Ranga Rao said installation of flower pots, widening of roads and greening the traffic island were part of the adoption process. A hoarding, “Tasmath Jagrattha’, which would display information beneficial to the people, once in a fortnight, had also been installed at the junction.
TDP leaders and police personnel were present.
