Siliguri Police Introduce FM Radio Traffic Alerts
The Siliguri Police have started a new service to tell people about traffic problems on the radio.
They will share updates twice a day, once in the evening for the next morning's traffic.
This will help people plan their trips better and avoid traffic jams.
The police have about 700 people working to manage traffic.
They also plan to have live talks on the radio to give real-time updates.
This is especially helpful during busy times like tourist season and festivals.
Siliguri Police introduce FM radio traffic alerts to ease congestion and provide real-time updates.
Traffic bulletins will be aired twice daily, including an evening overview for the next morning's traffic.
700 traffic personnel are deployed to manage traffic in Siliguri and adjoining areas.
RJ-led live interactions with OC Traffic will provide real-time updates from congested points.
The initiative aims to improve mobility and public convenience, especially during tourist season and festivals.
