Police Commissioner Kuldeep Kumar R. Jain on Saturday, June 6, said he will take a relook at the circular one-way introduced about a year ago following many complaints from the public.
Interacting with reporters after his first phone-in programme with the public here, Mr. Jain however said re-examining the circular one-way was not his priority; there were other pressing issues, including decongesting the Central Market area where the new market building was coming up, ensuring pedestrian safety across the city, etc.
Regarding the circular one-way, Mr. Jain said all aspects leading to the formation of one-way have to be studied while the present traffic pattern’s impact has to be studied too. Overall, the public have adjusted to the new set-up, though they complain about circuitous detour to their destination, he said.
M. Chandrasekhar, the then Police Commissioner, had introduced the phone-in programme in 2016. It was received well by the public who aired their grievances on the first Friday of every month. The initiative celebrated the 100th episode in January 2019 when T.R. Suresh was the Commissioner. It came to an abrupt halt in December 2019 after the police firing during the CAA protest when P.S. Harsha was the Commissioner.
Every first Saturday
Successive Commissioners did not review the initiative thereafter despite there being huge public demand and Mr. Jain decided to give it a try. The programme, Mr. Jain said, will be conducted on the first Saturday of every month between 10 a.m. and 11 a.m. henceforth.
