Now dial 112 for traffic-related complaints

Bengaluru, NT Bureau: Following a suggestion from a resident during last month's public interaction, the Bengaluru Police Commissioner B Dayananda on Friday announced that the citizens can now lodge traffic-related complaints on the Namma 112 emergency helpline.

In a tweet from the official handle, he said traffic-related complaints will be handled by the Cobra traffic police squads instead of the Hoysala teams, he said.

While some netizens appreciated the initiative, there was some scepticism of whether the complaints will be attended to by the traffic police.

There were also suggestions to crack down on youngsters popping wheelies and driving on the wrong side of the roads.

On June 24, the police commissioner had participated in a public interaction organised in the north zone and had directed police officials to attend to citizens’ issues. Today, the Masika Janasamparka Divas will be held at the Thirupathi Convention Hall in Hanumanthanagar from 11 am to 1 pm.
