Cyberabad police urges IT&ITeS companies to implement staggered office timings

A request to this effect was made during a cluster meeting convened by the Society for Cyberabad Security Council (SCSC), in collaboration with the Cyberabad traffic police with IT and ITeS companies in the Phoenix Infocity in Gachibowli and Sattva Knowledge City in Raidurgam.

Cyberabad Joint Commissioner of Police (Traffic) D. Joel Davis chaired the meeting to discuss effective strategies for traffic decongestion in the bustling IT corridor. During the meeting, Joel Davis, outlined initiatives aimed at improving traffic flow in the IT hub.

He emphasized the importance of collaborative efforts between law enforcement agencies and corporate entities to address the growing traffic challenges. SCSC General Secretary Ramesh Kaza and other officials were also present.

The other key issues discussed during the meeting include staggered work timings, deployment of traffic marshals and implementing a centralized transport system, car pooling and crisis management drills. The police urged companies to consider implementing staggered work timings for employees.

“If staggered timings are implemented, congestion during peak hours can be significantly reduced in the IT corridor,” the police said. To enhance traffic management, the SCSC has provided 50 traffic marshals, while Raheja Mind Space has contributed an additional 30 traffic marshals.

These trained personnel will assist in regulating traffic flow and ensuring smoother movement within the IT campuses. Emphasis was also laid on the importance of carpooling to reduce traffic congestion, lower carbon emissions, and promote sustainable commuting practices.

Implementing a centralized transport system to streamline public transportation, improve efficiency and enhance connectivity across different regions was also discussed during the meeting apart from highlighting the need for regular crisis management drills to ensure preparedness and effective response during emergencies.
