Today, SCSC & Cyberabad Police Commissionerate, together have felicitated the Best traffic
volunteers who have been supporting Cyberabad Traffic Police, during the past 4 months.
SCSC, along with Traffic Police have introduced the concept of Traffic Volunteers in the year 2013
with the volunteers enrolled from the IT Industry, to support the traffic police for controlling the
ever growing traffic in the IT corridor. Gradually, we have volunteers from Pharma and Health
Sciences, and other industries including Self employed youth, housewives and citizens joining in
from various walks of life to do their bit for the busy traffic junctions of Cyberabad.
Mr Krishna Yedula, Secretary General, SCSC said “ SCSC has taken several successful initiatives since
2006 for the safety and security of the IT industry and the Traffic Volunteers is one of the first few
initiatives taken up by SCSC, way back in 2013 – What has started off as a trickle then, now it has
become a regular activity of SCSC Traffic Forum. Initially, these traffic volunteers used to support
Traffic police only during regular traffic hours and now I am happy to share that they became a
regular volunteer force for any kind of drive by Cyberabad Police – that includes supporting the
traffic police during Drunken drivers on weekends, capturing violations by motorists on a regular
basis & being a good Samaritan for accident victims”. It is a tough job, but SCSC truly appreciates
our traffic volunteers’ passion and commitment towards traffic safety and hope to have more and
more people from all walks of life joining as volunteers”. Today, we are rewarding, 5 types of
volunteers, who have contributed for the following causes between 1 st August to 30 th Nov 2022.
A) Traffic Volunteers, who regularly support the traffic police during the working hours and
among them best performers, by virtue of no. of hours contributed.
B) Second category of volunteers, who support traffic police during drunken drives
C) Volunteers who keep capturing the traffic violations regularly from their cameras and post it
to traffic police, which helps them to raise challans
D) Traffic Volunteers who support Traffic police during any kind of accident situations and
helping the accident victims (Good Samaritan Program) .
E) Some of the IT parks sending their security guards, to regulate the traffic during peak hours.
Addressing the gathering, DCP T Srinivasa Rao, IPS said that “Traffic volunteers is a good concept
and I was quiet impressed with some of the work done by the Traffic Volunteers, on a regular basis,
with passion. I urge people from all walks of life, like housewives, students , employees working in
various companies to come and support this unique initiative.
Speaking at the event, Mr Sriniwas, Traffic Forum Leader said “around 8200 traffic violations have
been captured and 6100 have been sent the challans. Around 5500 hours of traffic volunteering
work has been done and I urge more and more people to join this voluntary movement”.
One of the highlight of today’s evening function was one of the SHOs Traffic, Mr Srinath, was also
facilitated by the Jt Commissioner, who personally has done first aid to a accident victim family and
rushed them to nearest hospital: This act was well appreciated by all.
