Sitting in his office, surrounded by house plants and a lineup of 32 televisions displaying real-time traffic flow at all major junctions, Additional Commissioner of Police (Traffic) G. Sudheer Babu seemed relaxed as the vehicular flow was smooth at 5 p.m.
The Hyderabad Traffic Police, in the thick of reorganising the jurisdiction along with the Hyderabad City Police, last week got 13 new traffic police stations, and DCP Traffic District was made a dedicated zone.
Mr. Sudheer Babu, the 16th incumbent in the office, heads a traffic force of 2,500 personnel with a median age of 41. The force handles about 80 lakh vehicles, with an average of one police personnel for every 3,000 vehicles.
