Hyderabad: Mahankali traffic police led by inspector Rama Swamy on Thursday took up a campaigning against public urination by garlanding those relieving themselves on footpaths.
Two sub-inspectors, Ramanaiah and Kotaiah, along with the inspector went around the area and found people urinating on the footpath opposite the railway station near Subhash Chandra Bose statue at Secunde-secunderabd.
They garlanded the men and requested them not to urinate on footpaths and told them that public toilets were just a furlong away, one located opposite the railway station and another near the No. 10 bus stop.
This is not the first time that the Mahankali traffic police has taken up a novel campaign. Earlier too, they distributed chocolates to two-wheeler riders wearing helmets. This they did at junctions when nearly 20 two-wheelers were not wearing helmets and two of them were wearing.
Speaking to this correspondent, Mr Rama Swamy said it was a small effort as part of the Swachch Hyderabad initiative. “We are doing our bit to create awareness among the people to keep Hyderabad clean and also follow traffic rules,” he said.
