Now, the Bengaluru Traffic Police (BTP) can finally start working on safety mechanisms along the city’s roads.
Earlier, the government had allotted city road safety works to the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP). Now, it has handed over the same to the BTP.
As is the practice every year, the BBMP has been responsible for infrastructure such as high-raised pedestrian crossings, zebra crossings, cat’s eye reflectors, installation of barricades and LED signboards along traffic junctions.
The government has now asked the BTP to take up the same works despite BBMP having a dedicated department, the Traffic Engineering Cell (TEC).
