Addressing a meeting of Traffic Police Inspectors and Sub-Inspectors, at the meeting hall of Police Commissioner’s Office in Nazarbad, she said, lakhs of people are expected to descend on city, causing a spurt in the number of vehicular traffic.
With national and international tourists expected to come in droves, the traffic should be allowed to move on without any disruption, along with suitable parking arrangements and imposition of one-way traffic system to avoid traffic jams. Police should stay put on the roads and circles, manning the traffic without giving room for any complaints, besides helping tourists reach the venues, by discharging the duties in a people-friendly manner, she advised.
