DGP warns speedsters on ORR
Director General of Police Anurag Sharma , on Wednesday, warned that over-speeding motorists would be dealt with stringent action according to law.
​Hyderabad: Director General of Police Anurag Sharma , on Wednesday, warned that over-speeding motorists would be dealt with stringent action according to law.
He was speaking at a programme held at Bongulur Toll Gate of the Outer Ring Road (ORR) in Adibhatla, organised by Rachakonda police.
ORR is not a speed riding track. It is a facility for public, but there has been rise in accidents on the ORR, he said adding that some youngsters having imported vehicles were using ORR for speed driving.
He also said that many people were using ORR in drunken condition leading to increase in accidents. He appreciated Rachakonda and Cyberabad police for coming forward with ideas to prevent accidents on the ORR.
The DGP gave away speed laser guns and breathe analysers for the police teams who patrol ORR. The Hyderabad Metro Development Authority will provide required number of speed laser guns and breathe analysers to Rachakonda, Cyberabad and Patancheru police, he said.
HMDA Commissioner Chiranjeevulu, Rachakonda Police Commissioner Mahesh M Bhagwat and Cyberabad Police Commissioner Sandeep Shandilya were present on the occasion.
The move to arm the police patrol teams with speed laser guns and breathe analyzers comes in the wake of increasing number of accidents on the ORR.
Three persons were killed and another injured seriously a couple of days ago when a speeding car hit the road divider before colliding with an oncoming car on the ORR.
In January, three persons were killed and two injured when a speeding car collided with another car on the ORR near Ghatkesar. Earlier in December, four men were burnt alive when a speeding car hit the road median.
Some more accidents go unreported while rich kids use ORR for racing their imported cars despite occasional police action.
