Jagran correspondent, Ghaziabad. To improve the traffic system of the city in the new year, the traffic police has prepared a strategy to combine technology and public participation. ITMS (Integrated Traffic Management System) and Traffic Mitra Scheme will be made the main weapons this year for effective control over road jams, unorganized parking and rule violations.
This month itself, the traffic police will start receiving live feed from the ITMS cameras installed by the Municipal Corporation, after which the process of issuing e-challan will be expedited with the help of these cameras. To strengthen the traffic system, 500 Traffic Mitras are being made in the district.
While formally launching this scheme on the first day of the year, Additional Police Commissioner Alok Priyadarshi distributed identity cards to the selected 18 traffic friends at Paramjit Hall located in Police Lines. Traffic Mitras will work in coordination with the traffic police in schools, markets, crowded areas and major intersections.
Along with this, they will also be responsible for giving information and providing primary assistance in case of road accidents. According to the police, so far 280 traffic friends have been selected, while 18 have been handed over identity cards in the first phase. The target is that soon 500 trained traffic friends should work actively in the district.
Apart from this, there is also a plan to increase the strength of the existing traffic force, so that the increasing traffic pressure can be handled effectively. In order to streamline the traffic of the city, there are also preparations to make Chaudhary Mod intersection a model intersection. Under this, direct traffic from Ambedkar Road towards Vijaynagar will be controlled, so that the problem of jam can be reduced.
ITMS cameras and Traffic Mitra scheme will form the backbone of traffic improvement. Monitoring of rule violations will increase through technology and with the help of Traffic Mitras, awareness about rules will increase among the general public. Our objective is to create a safe, smooth and disciplined traffic system.
