In Hyderabad’s high-density IT corridor, a ₹ 5 crore community-funded initiative has transformed traffic marshals into a critical pillar of ground traffic management, accounting for nearly 60% of the staff dealing with traffic congestion in the region.
Official figures from the Cyberabad police indicate that the agency has around 800 traffic personnel on ground duty, with nearly half deployed in the IT corridor – one of the city’s busiest stretches, home to major technology parks, corporate campuses and residential projects across Gachibowli, Raidurgam, Madhapur and Narsingi police station boundaries.
