Mangaluru, Jun 15: "A decision is taken to improve the traffic movement on the roads of the city, by conducting a scientific study, which will be carried out by NITK, Suratkal. In addition, a proposal to install automatic signal in all the main junctions of the city under the Smart City project is also submitted," said Laxmi Ganesh, DCP of traffic division of Mangaluru Police Commissionerate in the Police phone-in programme that was held on Friday, June 14 at the office of the police commissioner of the city.


Police phone-in programme

A notice is sent to all the bus owners to get the issues resolved with respect to the movement of private buses in the city. The bus drivers and conductors, who violate the traffic rules have been fined and also suitable action is taken against them. If they are found to repeat the offence, then severe action will be taken on the offenders and also the owner of the respective bus as per the details in the notice that is sent to the bus owners.

"People are falling victim to the online fraudsters. In 2019, till June 10, 76 cases of online cheating are registered with the cyber police station. People should be very careful while dealing with strangers on various social media applications and should be alert all the time," appealed DCP Laxmi Ganesh after the phone-in programme on Friday.

    Why does NITK have to do the Scientific study.
    The engineers in the corporation department for Roads work have got jobs on their merits or they have got jobs on some tom dick and harry influence

    Our Traffic department is simply passing time. Till now the Traffic is going worst day by day. It is difficult to control and educate our bus drivers and bus owners Association.
    I have suggested many time to shieft the service bus stand and DC office, and wholesale vegetable Market to outskirts. All problems will solve. Otherwise this will be never ending problems and same complaints from last 117 phone in programme.

    Very good suggestion. Somewhere near derebail,. Kavoor would be ideal as traffic there is limited.

    Good initiative but what is the use there is no driving discipline nor following basis traffic rules. Reckless driving is increasing day by day. Wrong side driving with signal lights on. Overtaking on wrong side.

    It will make a huge difference if we abolish the private bus mafia. The age old promise or plan of building a service/express bus terminus at Pumpwell and Kottar Chowki. Nothing has started so far after so many years. The Pumpwell bus terminus will only function or start if the blessed flyover is completed. There should be good coordinaion between various public depts. If everything is in place then we need
    not have NITK to do a scientific study.

    In addition to scientific study, do a plumber engineer study also. The water logging near Big Bazaar is there since five years and no one is bothered. There is a police post right on the leaking area.
    the administration says Mangagala Ooru is a smart city. From which angle I do not know
