Hyderabad witnessed 86% rise in wrong side driving in 2023 as compared to 2022. How this dangerous offence can be curbed in 2024 ? @HYDTP @AddlCPTrfHyd @CPHydCity

@HYDTrafficMan @HYDTP @CPHydCity @Anjanikumar_IPS @CVAnandIPS @TelanganaDGP @Team_Road_Squad @TopDriverIndia @tsrtcmdoffice @drpuppalaa Besides generating echallans, we r also taking up contact enforcement. There are known hotspots of wrong side driving. The signages will be installed and police visibility will be increased in those areas. (2/3)

@HYDTrafficMan @HYDTP @CPHydCity @Anjanikumar_IPS @CVAnandIPS @TelanganaDGP @Team_Road_Squad @TopDriverIndia @tsrtcmdoffice @drpuppalaa It is a fact that there is an alarming incident of wrong side driving in the City which is exemplified by the fact that yesterday alone 1352 cases were booked during the special drive. We stay focused on the menace. The key lies in education & Stricter enforcement. (1/3)

@CVAnandIPS @HYDTP @CYBTRAFFIC @RCKTRAFFIC @tsrtcmdoffice We also urge the passengers waiting for a bus at the bus stop/stage to remain in the bus shelter and not to get on to the road and occupy a portion of the carriageway.

Traffic officers to note this video as this is one of the main obstructions to free flow of traffic and carriageway restriction . Buses should be made to go into their bus bays through special measures and education @HYDTP @CYBTRAFFIC @RCKTRAFFIC @tsrtcmdoffice

@CVAnandIPS @HYDTP @CYBTRAFFIC @RCKTRAFFIC @tsrtcmdoffice Besides we will also conduct the awareness sessions for the RTC drivers. We look forward to your invaluable experience, guidance and constant support sir.

@CVAnandIPS @HYDTP @CYBTRAFFIC @RCKTRAFFIC @tsrtcmdoffice Dear Sir, We will ensure that the RTC buses get in to the bus bays (wherever they are there) to pick up the passengers. Cases will also be booked against the RTC and private bus drivers for obstructive parking especially in areas of congestion.

As the polling day is just few hours away, here is an important message that I would like to convey on behalf of @hydcitypolice and the hardwork being done by the cops. We urge everyone to cooperate with our staff on field on the polling day. Rest assured, all wings of city police are fully geared up. Dial 100 to report any incident.

#HYDTPinfo Conducted Operation ROPE from Kamat lane to Puthlibowli and removed all foot path encroachments and imposed 41 CP Act Cases -08 & 39(B) CP Act Cases-09 sir. @HYDTP
