Nagpur's Smart traffic booths attacked with pebbles by anti-social elements, late night
The traffic police officers stationed at 167 junctions must endure the hot sun despite the Nagpur Smart and Sustainable City Development Corporation Limited's procurement of smart traffic booths. 150 places throughout the city will soon have high-tech traffic management booths installed by NSSCDCL. Only 12 booths have been set up and given to the traffic police thus far. In order to give traffic constables a convenient location to control vehicular traffic on the road during the summer or monsoon, the smart and solar-powered traffic booths erected by NSSCDCL have not yet been made available to police.
The booth contains solar panels and amenities like a fan, first aid kit, fire extinguisher, chairs, drinkable water, a microphone, a biometric door, and CCTV cameras. It is also equipped with solar panels. The average cost per booth is Rs 5.25 lakh. Twelve of the city's eleven traffic zones' intersection-installed smart booths, which the traffic police currently have the keys to, are still covered and have not yet been put into service in public squares.
The temperature is between 43 and 44 degrees Celsius, but these intelligent traffic booths that have been put at different junctions are still rolled up since the traffic cops lack a decent place to sit and direct traffic. These booths need to be opened right away. Although there are plans to set up booths at 150 locations, antisocial elements are increasingly targeting the booths due to a lack of security measures. When antisocial elements recently threw stones at a highly guarded booth in Sambhaji Square late at night, the smart city administration was able to identify two of the perpetrators from the building's CCTV footage and notified the Pratap Nagar police station.
