!!!   NOTE on traffic restrictions at Paradise to Ranigunj    !!!

            On repeated representations from the public that there is no Right turn or ‘U’ turn (opening) from Masabtank to Lakdikapul for the commuters who intend to proceed to areas i.e., on the opposite side like Nilopher hospital, Bazarghat, A.C.Guards etc. They have to move all along from Masabtank, Mahaveer, Ayodhya Junc, via Nirankari, Lakdikapul and then take right turn to go towards Bazharghat side. Hence, people are requesting to provide a vent inbetween Masabtank and Lakdikapool as many are going on the wrong side to reach Masab Tank junction.

           In order to save the fuel and time and to facilitate the commuters to take a ‘U’ turn, it has been decided to give a ‘U’turn at Ayodhya Junction for the traffic coming from Masabtank and intending to proceed towards Nilopher hospital, Bazarghat, A.C.Guards etc. This has been done without interfering with the straight flow of traffic from Lakdikapool to Masab Tank by utilizing the ‘dead space’ at Ayodhya Junction.

           The general public are requested to make use of this facility and are also warned not to go on the wrong side to reach their destination as here will be strict enforcement after a week.

!!!   NOTE ON FACE BOOK USAGE (HYDERABAD TRAFFIC POLICE)   !!!

Dear Face Book friends,

Welcome to HTP’s Facebook facility (officially)

          Face Book has become very popular all over the world, not only among the youth, but also across the various age groups. The Hyderabad Traffic Police had launched the Face Book facility about (6) months ago to see the response get from the public and without an official launch or any publicity and already have over 3600 friends / likes. It is noticed that large section of commuters, especially, the IT employees and youth do not read the news papers, do not watch the news channels, but are very active on the Face Book. To reach out to this Group too, and keep them informed about the various Traffic Police initiatives on the enforcement, education and engineering front which are usually communicated through visual, electronic, print media and press notes, the HTP has now decided to launch Face Book facility. While doing so, the HTP would like to send a note of caution to all its Face Book friends and those who are going to join it in the coming days.

1. Language:-

          The HTP does not have enough members who are very proficient in English language. In fact, this has been the main obstacle for us to launch the facility till date. The Addl.CP and DCsP and other officers would be responding to various queries, and it is requested that any mistakes in the language used may be over looked. Senior Traffic Officers will be perusing the Face Book queries regularly and will be responding on important issues. Infact, some replies may be given in Telugu too.

2. Interaction:-

          HTP friends should remember that this is a facility to interact with each other too, and we invite them to post feed back and suggestions. It is not for fault finding and continuous communication about a single issue / violation.

3. Reporting of violations:-

          The Face Book facility may also be used to report violations which are seen on the road within the City limits by putting up a photograph or videograph with details i.e. date, time and location of the violation on site. If the date and time are imprinted on the photograph itself, it will be more authentic. The person reporting the violation should also post his name, e-mail ID and Cell Phone No. Violations under M.V.Act such as Irregular No. Plate wrong and irregular parking, Cell Phone driving, wrong side driving, over loading in Auto rickshaws or DCMs, stop line violation, signal jumping. Any visible violations reported but without the Date, time and location will not be responded to. The violations committed by Police Department vehicles and other government department vehicles which are not seriously booked by Traffic Police due to obvious reasons are also very much invited and challans will be sent to them.

4. Enrolment:-

          All emails sent to us on trafficpolicehyderabad@yahoo.co.in and all opinions posted on “share with us” on the HTP website will henceforth should be sent / shared on Facebook facility of HTP. Anyone can access Facebook facility by typing “htpfacebook” on internet / Google or through the HTP Website which now has a Facebook link.

5. Requests to post photos:-

          Too many requests to post photos of violations are being received. This will increase now. Repeated requests cannot be entertained. All details have already been given in the challan. To view your photograph, you will have to visit e-Challan Centre, CP Hyderabad office, 4th floor, Basheerbagh. A Software Application to upload all photographs of e-Challans onto Website is under preparation.

6. Expectations:-

          All the Facebook friends / members are requested not to have exaggerated expectations from the HTP. From the past 6 months of communication on HTP Facebook facility, it is noticed that some queries / questions are beyond our capability.

Here are a few facts, just for information, for all to note:-

1. Total vehicles in Hyderabad city as on 31-03-2011 = 23.5 lakhs
2. Total manpower available in HTP = 2900
3. 2900 includes 1600 Home Guards whose daily allowance is Rs.200/-
4. This force works in 2 shifts of duty from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. and from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m.
5. Therefore, there is 1 traffic policeman for every 1550 vehicles!
6. Daily 600 new vehicles are added to Hyderabad City Roads.
7. Annually over 2 lakh vehicles are getting added to city roads.
8. All Traffic Signals, are maintained by the GHMC – HTP only gives proposals.
9. All road repairs, junction developments, cat eyes, other engineering works are the responsibility of GHMC – HTP surveys and sends proposals.
10. HTP has no budget allotment of any kind – we totally depend on other Government agencies to buy us enforcement equipment, like cameras, communication sets, PDAs, maintenance equipment like rain coats, rain shoes, reflector jackets, nose masks, goggles etc.

7. Jurisdiction:-

          The HTP will respond only to queries which fall within HTP limits. It is noticed that many queries are pertaining to Cyberabad Police limits. Which include areas like Madhapur, Gachibowli, Hi-Tech City, Kukatpally, Miyapur, Balanagar, Sanath Nagar, Alwal, Malkajgiri, Uppal, L.B.Nagar, etc. Such queries should be sent to DCP (Traffic), Cyberabad at the e-mail address dcp_trf@cyb.appolice.gov.in.

8. Education:-

          HTP will be using the Facebook platform to educate its friends about various special drives it takes up, many unknown things about its functioning, use of technology, about Motor Vehicles Laws etc.
