Karnataka Home Minister Directs Bengaluru Police to Use Tech to Ease Traffic

Karnataka Home Minister Priyank Kharge on Monday directed Bengaluru's Traffic DCPs to use technology-driven solutions to improve mobility across the city. 

He said the focus should be on ensuring smooth and safe movement of the public. Chairing a meeting with Bengaluru's Traffic DCPs, the minister said the number of vehicles in the city continues to increase every day, making it essential to adopt scientific and technology-driven methods to manage congestion at major



junctions and busy roads.

Noting that Bengaluru has established itself as a globally recognised city, the minister said leading IT companies, multinational corporations, and investors from around the world are choosing the city as a hub for their business operations and investments. 

He emphasised that developing a world-class traffic management system befitting such a global city is everyone's responsibility, his office said in a statement.
