Requests made to Delhi Traffic Police via Facebook

As the Delhi traffic police came on Facebook, we have added certain requests to DTP as below :

On 20th May, 2010  :  Rwa Bhagidari DELHI TRAFFIC POLICE : Plz solve the traffic jam problem on F block, Mandir marg, Krishna nagar, Delhi - 51. Vid of Traffic jam can be viewed on www.RWABhagidari.blogspot.com/

On 26th May, 2010 :  Rwa Bhagidari    Delhi Traffic Police: Please depute a permanent traffic police officer to control the traffic on the very busy crossing at Road number 57 intersection at F block, Krishna nagar, Mandir marg, Delhi - 51. Plz check the traffic lights also which are mostly switched off, even in the absence of Traffic police.

On 26th May, 2010 again  : Rwa Bhagidari  : Last year in summer holidays, i went to GHPS Hargobind enclave to deposit fees of my kids. It's a very very wide road & always dozens of car's are parked outside the school. But on that fateful day no car was parked outside the school except mine & that too just for few minutes. My car was at the extreme end of the very very wide road, which is always empty. But to my surprise, on that day my car was towed away and i had to spend 300 for Challan plus 100 for searching the location to collect it. Please note, there is not even any board saying NO PARKING ZONE.

Awkward Social Situation For Traffic Police

Delhi Traffic Police perhaps did not anticipate the questions that would come their way when communicating with the public through the Internet.

A few weeks ago the department had logged on to social networking site Facebook and microblogging engine Twitter to provide necessary information about its new plans and initiatives and also make users aware about the city's traffic condition.

Facebook has also offered a platform for citizens of Delhi to put their suggestions, reactions and views.

The initial few days were smooth for the police to handle. But of late certain questions have put the cops in an embarrassing situation.

For instance, Alok Kathuria, who identified himself as a Delhi resident, today asked through Facebook: "Will the GK1-Sant Nagar red light ever be fixed? It's been more than three months, the traffic does not stop because drivers coming from Nehru Place never get to know when it becomes red."
