After Friday’s downpour, Cyberabad and Hyderabad, the traffic police recognized gaps in monsoon readiness, but ensured a better reaction.
On Saturday, because the IT workforce remained at home, Cyberabad witnessed a relatively lighter traffic, although areas such as Kukatpally, especially Balanagar on Bhel Stretch, have seen considerable overload. The commuters reported waiting times between 15 minutes to an hour in some pockets.
Commissioner for Police Commissioner Cyberabad (Traffic) Gajrao Bhupal acknowledged that there was a forfeiture, including coordination between civil authorities. “On Saturday we organized a meeting with Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) and Hyderabad Disaster Rester and Asset Protection Agency (Hydraa) after the Friday situation.
Efforts to clean clogged drains at the overpass of Kothaguda-Kongapur, which witnessed a deep flood of knee on Friday evening, began early Saturday morning in anticipation of another magic of heavy rain.
Mr Bhupal added that a total of 107 water points were identified across the commissioners. While 70% of engineering modifications designed in these places have already been completed, not all of them have brought the expected results.
“Some repairs did not work well on the ground. The revision is.
The joint police commissioner Hyderabad (operation) D. Joel Davis repeated the focus on coordination and advanced planning. “We take early predictions from GHMC and Hydraa to strategically deploy officers at problem sites. Emergency transport teams, reaction forces to disasters and Hydraa units are located according to historical flood formulas,” he said.
He added that areas near the gardens in the Begumpet, Junction KCP connecting Panjagutta, Khairatabad and Nims, Secretariat and Raj Bhavan, once known for serious contaminations, have seen remarkable improvements this year.
However, there were new problems, including the section from the Masab tank to Ayodhya Nagar Colony in Mehdipatnam, which was marked for immediate attention.
Crossing remains a challenge because of the transition problems. Police plan to work more with GHMC on draft and maintenance of drains to resolve these concerns. With approximately 64 points of chronic contamination throughout the city, the police preferred strategic deployment, diversions and pulling vehicles during top hours and storms.
“Further support for police staff of the armed reserve is mobilized to help during the diversions and removal of vehicles under the flight and metro lines,” he said.
