Hyderabad traffic police deploy 50 patrolling bikes, 100 marshals

The Hyderabad City Police, under the leadership of Commissioner Mr. C. V. Anand, IPS, in collaboration with the Hyderabad City Security Council (HCSC), has launched 50 traffic patrolling bikes and 100 traffic marshals to strengthen traffic management in the city. This initiative has been introduced under a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model with strong support from several corporate and civic organizations.

The newly deployed patrolling bikes (Bajaj Avenger 220 Cruise) are equipped with advanced tools including PA systems, GPS tracking, dashboard and body-worn cameras, among



others. These features will enable the traffic police to regulate movement more effectively, enforce rules efficiently, and respond promptly to violations and emergencies.

In addition, 100 trained traffic marshals, including transgender individuals recruited for the first time in India, have been deployed to assist the police at key intersections and congested stretches across the city. They underwent 15 days of intensive training and will operate under the supervision of local police officers. The department has also announced plans to expand their strength to 500 marshals in the near future.
