Constable has no longer to stand in the middle of the road in
uncomfortable conditions breathing in the deadly fumes of vehicular
emissions. He can
observe traffic clearance on all sides from within the booth and
accordingly change signals by using the switch provided to him.
A
PA system with a
cordless mike is also provided and the policeman can give instruction for
traffic control from the booth
as well as while moving on the road. The
booth comes with a walkie-talkie set which can be charged inside the booth
itself. This can be used
by the policemen to convey information about traffic jams,
accidents, etc.
as well as details of erring vehicles to officers and other traffic
duty points and movement of VIPs. The
booth has a siren which can be operated to stop traffic on all sides for
VIP movements. A
first aid box is also provided inside the booth.

This
booths derives all its energy requirements from the sun through its solar
panels and it therefore an excellence technology demonstrator for
non-conventional sources of energy.
In the new century man has to increasingly move towards more and
more reliance on non-conventional sources
and the Police Department is proud
to have taken an early step in this direction. The
Intention of the traffic Unit is to see that modernization and use of new
technologies directly reach the traffic policeman actively working on the
roads because it is here that these can be of maximum use to the community
by ensuring better traffic management.
In this context we wish to remind you that it was in pursuance of
the same Traffic–Constable–Centered-Approach that
recently head constables and constables were enabled to book traffic
offences directly and this has led to a feeling of great empowerment among
the traffic constabulary. Periodical
Medical Checkup
was conducted
for the Traffic
Police Personnel
