City Police Commissioner Mr. C.V. Anand, alongside MAUD Principal Secretary Mr. Dana Kishore, led the discussions with officials from GHMC, Hydra, HMDA, and the Rachakonda and Cyberabad police departments.
The meeting focused on enhancing coordination among various stakeholders to deploy quick responses on roads and at critical junctions during heavy rains, including incessant and flash floods. The need for a proactive approach was emphasized, with participants discussing immediate measures essential for ensuring public safety and effective traffic management.
Key topics included the implementation of proper diversions, the swift transmission of weather forecasts and traffic advisories, improved signage, and necessary engineering changes to prevent waterlogging and facilitate smoother traffic flow.
