Hyderabad, May 6 (Shoukat-PMI): Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy has directed Director General of Police C.V. Anand to ensure that no inconvenience is caused to the general public during his movement and other dignitaries across the Telangana state.
The Chief Minister emphasised that people should not be made to wait on roads for prolonged periods due to his convoy.
He expressed concern over the severe traffic congestion experienced near the airport on Wednesday while he was proceeding to Delhi.
Taking serious note of the situation, Revanth Reddy instructed the DGP to initiate appropriate action against officials responsible for lapses and ensure that routine public movement is not disrupted for convoy arrangements.
He also directed that vehicles coming from the opposite direction should not be unnecessarily stopped, and that traffic regulation should be handled in a manner that minimises public inconvenience.
The Chief Minister further stressed that strict action must be taken against officials found negligent in discharging their duties.
Following the Chief Minister’s directions, C.V. Anand convened a video conference with all SI and above rank officers of L& O and Traffic Police in all the commissionerates and the Commissioners across the State and issued key instructions.
The DGP observed that the Chief Minister’s repeated concern highlights the gravity of the issue and called upon field officers to address it with utmost seriousness.
He informed that a dedicated traffic bureau will soon be established under the leadership of an additional DGP to strengthen traffic management across the State, and that modalities are currently being finalized.
C.V. Anand advised officers to regulate traffic flow in a streamlined manner during the CM convoy movements instead of completely halting vehicles, and to prepare alternative routes in advance, particularly during peak traffic conditions.
The DGP also stressed the need for heightened vigilance in areas surrounding the airport. In view of the upcoming monsoon season, C.V. Anand directed officials to take proactive measures to prevent water stagnation and avoid resultant traffic congestion. Traffic officers were instructed to remain on the ground, take prompt decisions, and instill confidence among personnel.
