In an effort to provide respite from long working hours, the traffic department has extended eight-hour work shifts to Assistant Sub Inspectors and traffic patrolling Cobra staff .
The facility till now was applicable to traffic constables and head constables excluding Cobra staff, while the other staff members continued to reel under work pressure.
Considering their physical endurance and betterment, M.A. Saleem recently issued a circular extending the eight-hour shift to ASIs and Cobra staff.
