In an effort to decongest road and alleviating traffic flow, after a three -year break, it is restored in Bengalur. This time he will return with the new set of rules and Bruhhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP), which effectively excludes private players from the process.
Police Commissioner Bengalur Setant Kumar Singh told Hindu that BBMP is involved in solving problems that existed earlier.
In 2022, the then Minister of the Interior Araga Jnanendra issued an order stopping the exhaust operation during the term of office of the BJP government after receiving several complaints about harassment against private towing agencies. Several videos have appeared online, showing how Touts annoys motorists for money, and the police department leaves Red face to face.
Mr. Singh stressed that this time, private players were completely excluded and new campaign methods were designed. He said the police asked BBMP to get 10 towing vehicles together with the drivers. “We get one vehicle for all 10 sub -divisions under which they run a traffic police station in the city,” Singh Hindu said.
Pilot on corridors with high density
According to Mr. Singh, at the beginning, they identified 96 high -density corridors that often experience traffic growth due to irregular parking where they enforce the campaign. “Based on the results of the pilot, we plan to extend the exercise,” he said.
The source in the Transport Police of Bengalur (BTP) added that the ministry is likely to conduct a calibrated study of overload, vehicle density and top overload hours to evaluate the efficiency of recovery. The findings will help determine whether towing should be expanded throughout the city.
Hinde official BBMP confirmed that BBMP’s main commissioner M. Maleshwar Rao ordered officials to start arrangements to hover offers for the acquisition of towing vehicles along with BTP drivers.
According to the head of the BTP officer, there is also a discussion on BBMP involvement in the fine collection process, albeit under the supervision of BTP to make operations more efficient. “Along with vehicles, if BBMP can provide workforce for lifting and loading, this process develops smoothly and keeps private players completely out of the picture,” the officer said.
However, for the formal involvement of the BBMP, it is necessary to make a amendment to the law on the administration of public Bengalur, 2024. The officer noted that such changes are currently being discussed and examined by various possibilities to allow this cooperation.
“The whole process of awarding public procurement and extinguishing will take at least two months and the BBMP is still in the transition phase. It may take another time,” he said.
The head officer in BTP said Hindu that the effective recovery of the campaign could solve many hyper-luminous traffic problems that contribute to overload at the main intersections, which eventually reduce traffic on the main roads.
In an early attempt to solve this problem, the northeast traffic police rented a private towing vehicle in June in June and started operation. However, the initiative has been stopped due to lack of funds because the private towing vehicle costs 5,000 GBP per day.
