It was a relatively cooler Monday for ASI Veer Singh, posted at a busy roundabout in Chanakyapuri, as he tested a prototype ‘AC helmet’ introduced by the Delhi Traffic Police to help personnel cope with the capital’s intense summer heat.
The traffic police has launched a pilot project under which 10 cooling helmets have been procured and distributed among personnel. The initiative is part of a broader heat-relief drive that also includes refrigerated refreshment vans, rechargeable portable fans and additional roadside booths at key locations, according to Khushi Bhuta's Times of India report.
