To decongest the city roads, the Jammu and Kashmir Police have, for the first time, used drones in Srinagar and Jammu.
The traffic police have prepared a documentary using the drones, which it intends to show during a seminar on ‘Traffic Management’ on Saturday.
“We have studied the traffic in the capital cities (Srinagar and Jammu) through drones and the documentary that has been prepared will be shown during the seminar so that all the stakeholders get an idea of the traffic in the State and the problems that lead to frequent congestion,” Additional Director-General of Police, Armed, S.M. Sahai said.
Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed is expected to inaugurate the seminar, which is being organised by the Institution of Studies, Learning and Analysis (ISLA) at Sher-i-Kashmir International Conference Centre (SKICC) on the banks of Dal Lake in Srinagar on Saturday.
“The rising numbers of vehicles coupled with inadequate infrastructure are causing high traffic congestion in the cities and the national highways,” Mr. Sahai said.
The management of traffic has become a big issue as the people are suffering because of the frequent jams especially in the two capitals and the highway connecting them, he said.
