M'luru Police Commissioner appeals public to volunteer as traffic wardens to help traffic management
Says training will be provided to interested volunteers
Mangaluru: Mangaluru Police Commissioner Kuldeep Jain has made an appeal to the public, urging them to actively participate as volunteers and work alongside the police as traffic wardens. The initiative aims to enhance the management and control of traffic flow, particularly at busy intersections during peak hours.
Interested individuals who are selected will receive training and be assigned the role of assisting the police. The volunteers will be required to dedicate four hours of their time every week. However, it should be noted that the cost of the uniform will have to be borne by the volunteers themselves.
In addition to seeking volunteers from the public, the police have also sought assistance from security guards employed by educational institutions. These security guards will play a role in ensuring the safe crossing of children on roads, as well as monitoring proper parking practices by the public.
When asked about the response received thus far regarding the call for volunteers, Commissioner Kuldeep mentioned that the turnout has been disappointingly low. Despite investing a significant amount of time and resources in raising awareness about the initiative, he expressed his dissatisfaction with the lack of public participation. "I am only asking for four hours of volunteers' time out of the 160-odd hours in a week," he added.
