In an attempt to ease the traffic congestion in the temple city and ensure denizens’ adherence to traffic rules, Traffic Police of the Tirupati Urban District have come up with a novel programme named – ‘Safe City Tirupati’.
Interacting with the media here on Thursday, Tirupati Urban Superintendent of Police Gopinath Jatti emphasised on the need of an effective regulation of traffic in the city, which witnessed a steady flow of pilgrims, everyday. “The city's roads are used by the residents as well as the devotees, who arrive to have a darshan of Lord Venkateswara. Few changes will be made to the existing traffic conditions to ensure a smooth vehicular movement on the roads,” he said.
Pointing out to the changes in the current traffic set-up, Mr. Jatti advised the people to follow the signs and roadblocks. He also urged them to carry driving license, registration certificate, third-party insurance and pollution certificate.
Mr. Jatti also said that they would set up a CCTV Surveillance System, with latest technologies, by November end to keep a track on traffic and other aspects of law and order.
Later, Mr. Jatti flagged off two campaign vehicles (auto-rickshaws) which would travel through all the important junctions in the city, elucidating denizens on the traffic rules and regulations.
Besides this, banners will also be put up at important junctions and pamphlets would be distributed to the people.
