Traffic police identify junctions for surveillance

By Our Staff Reporter

HYDERABAD June 18. The traffic police have identified 20 junctions in the city for installation of surveillance cameras to monitor traffic movement. Important junctions will also have a red eye camera to track down signal jumpers. The red eye will take pictures of the jumping vehicles from two different angles and the offenders will be caught in no time, said DCP, Traffic, K. Srinivas Reddy.

Replying to queries during the "Face to face programme'' here on Wednesday, he said once the red eye was in place the violators would be fined the maximum penalty of Rs. 200.

There were many complaints of haphazard parking of autos, particularly seven seaters at bus stops. A caller from Langar Houz said commuters faced problem in getting RTC buses on account of ban on seven seaters at Mehdipatnam. The RTC City regional manager, C. Panduranga Murthy, said the frequency of buses on the Mehdipatnam-Langarhouz route was quite good. He asked the complainant to come along with him for a joint inspection.

One Rajgopal of Begumbazar complained of congestion on the Muslimjungpul-Jumerat Bazar Road every Thursday with the result that the RTC buses could not ply here. Mayor T. Krishna Reddy said the MCH proposed to widen the road.

There was a mysterious caller from Bazarghat who wanted to keep his identity a secret. When the Mayor asked him to reveal his name, the caller hesitated a while and then said, `Khaja'. When told that the name appeared to be false the caller agreed and said his name was Asif. He complained of encroachment of some shop in Bazarghat on the footpath.
