Logging On: Policing Via Social Networking




The latest updates on Delhi's traffic condition are just a click away now. Delhiite's can get in touch with the Delhi Traffic police through popular social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook. By logging on to Twitter, you can get to know about the condition of Delhi traffic, which roads you should take and which to avoid, to reach your destination.

By logging on to Facebook, you can share your views on the traffic management initiatives. The rising Internet penetration among Delhiite's has prompted Delhi Traffic police to go the social-networking way.

And the innovative idea seems to have clicked. "People have started communicating with the traffic police through Facebook and Twitter in bulk," said a senior traffic police officer.

"Through Facebook, we provide information about new plans, initiatives and challenges, and also make the users aware about the traffic situation in the city. Besides, we seek sugges- tions, reactions and views from responsible citizens of Delhi," said Satyendra Garg, Joint Commissioner of Police (Traffic).

"Through Twitter, we update them about events, processions, rallies, road congestion, accidents etc. The management of traffic in Delhi during the forthcoming Commonwealth Games is a big challenge as well as a great opportunity," he said further.
