With heavy rain alerts in place for Telangana this week, the Cyberabad traffic police are focusing on the IT corridor to ease congestion and ensure quick emergency response during downpours. Measures under consideration include issuing a work-from-home advisory and pressing companies in the tech hub to adopt staggered logout timings to keep key routes clear for commuters and emergency vehicles.
While advisories have been issued in the past, officials say the real challenge lies in corporate compliance. “Unless the situation really demands, we don’t issue an advisory. Sometimes it’s late at night or early morning, based on forecasts. But many companies do not always follow it because of their own schedules and cycles,” said Cyberabad Police Commissioner Avinash Mohanty.
