The Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police (ADCP) for Traffic, A.V.L. Prasanna Kumar, engaged in crucial discussions regarding traffic challenges in Vijayawada on October 24. The meeting involved cooperation with the Vijayawada Municipal Corporation (VMC) Commissioner, H.M. Dhyanachandra.
Under the guidance of Police Commissioner S.V. Rajashekar Babu, the traffic department sought collaborative efforts from the VMC to facilitate smoother vehicular movement and reduce road accidents across the city.
The ADCP urged the VMC Commissioner to take immediate action against encroachments on pavements and roadways in key areas including Governorpet, Krishnalanka, Gandhinagar, and Patamata.
The traffic authorities called for essential measures to widen the road at Ramavarappadu Ring Road and recommended shifting the road divider near Marg Krishnaiah Hotel to NTR Circle for improved traffic flow.
Additionally, the police requested the establishment of free left turns at Benz Circle towards Eluru Road, along with new traffic police cabins at critical junctions for better law enforcement.
In response, Mr. Dhyanachandra committed to visiting the identified locations and implementing the suggested improvements.
