Cyberabad police to expand CCTV surveillance in high-traffic zones, illegal parking spots

Hyderabad: Cyberabad Police discussed increasing the scope of CCTV surveillance by installing cameras at critical traffic junctions, unauthorised parking hotspots and high-traffic areas. A series of upcoming large-scale drunk and drive operations were also discussed.

In a traffic review meeting at the Cyberabad Police Commissionerate on Friday, joint commissioner of police (Traffic), D Joel Davis, IPS, and other officials discussed ongoing efforts and strategies to streamline traffic flow and enforce traffic regulations across the Cyberabad jurisdiction.

During the meeting, the Joint Commissioner highlighted significant initiatives undertaken by the Cyberabad Police to enhance traffic management and enforcement. A key focus of the discussion was the expansion of CCTV surveillance coverage. Apart from the zones mentioned, additional installations are planned for high-risk and high-congestion areas by next month.

Stop drink-and-drive incidents

The joint commissioner also discussed the upcoming mega drunk and drive operations and other enforcement measures targeting unsafe driving practices.

Unauthorised parking hotspots have been identified and enforcement measures along with no-parking signage are being deployed to address these concerns.

Traffic congestion mostly on weekdays

Additionally, daily traffic density analysis indicated peak congestion on weekdays, with minimal issues on weekends and Sundays. Road widening and patchwork efforts are currently underway, with a focus on accident-prone and high-traffic areas.

The meeting also addressed key traffic violations such as driving without a license, signal jumping, unauthorised entry and the use of mobile phones while driving. Special attention was given to DCMs, which are restricted from entering specific locations at designated times, with violations being recorded and appropriate action taken.
