Top cop holds meet for peaceful Moharram procession
Hyderabad:Hyderabad City Police Commissioner C V Anand has underscored that the Police Department, in close coordination with all other departments, has taken proactive measures to ensure the peaceful conduct of the Moharram Bibi-ka-Alam procession. A coordination meeting was held at the Salarjung Museum on Tuesday, attended by Shia community religious leaders, other community members, and officials from various government departments, to finalise arrangements for Moharram events in Hyderabad. During the meeting, the Commissioner, who chaired the session, pledged that concerns raised by community members would be addressed in coordination with relevant departmental officers. The meeting included comprehensive reviews of security, traffic management, and other essential arrangements. Officials from departments such as the GHMC, Roads & Buildings, Waterworks, Electricity, Medical & Health, Fire Services, Nehru Zoological Park, and the Telangana Waqf Board provided their insights and feedback. C V Anand assured attendees that sufficient vehicle parking facilities and traffic diversion plans would be implemented to prevent any inconvenience for participants. He also detailed the deployment of all Police Stations' crime teams, police platoons, and She Teams to maintain order and deter any untoward incidents, particularly eve-teasing. Drawing from past experiences, the Commissioner affirmed that all efforts are being made to prevent any issues this year. Regarding the elephant that traditionally participates in the procession, the Commissioner advised that it should be brought two to three days prior to the event to ensure it is well rested. He stressed the importance of maintaining a safe perimeter around the elephant during the procession, ensuring people do not approach it too closely. Organisers were also advised to have a veterinarian and tranquiliser readily available to handle any unforeseen circumstances. During Moharram, particularly on the 10th Day of Ashura, Shia Muslims observe mourning to commemorate the martyrdom of Imam Hussain and his followers. This observance includes a large mourning procession (Matam), with thousands of Shia Muslims participating. This year, Moharram is expected to fall on July 6 or 7, 2025, depending on the crescent moon sighting. The procession traditionally begins at Bibi-ka-Alam, Dabeerpura, and proceeds through Ettebar Chowk, Kotla Aliza, Panjesha, Miralam Mandi, Charminar-Gulzar House, Purani Haveli, Darulshifa, concluding at Masjid-e-Ilahi, Chaderghat. Senior officers from the Traffic Department will be on site to closely monitor the traffic diversion plan and the procession's movement. Additionally, senior officials will oversee the procession at ground level, with the entire route being continuously monitored via CCTV cameras from the Command Control Centre, TGICCC, Banjara Hills, in coordination with all departmental officers. Among those present were Sneha Mehra, Deputy Commissioner of Police, South Zone; MLC Mirza Riaz ul Hasan Effendi; MLAs Jaffer Hussain Meraj (Yakutpura) and Mir Zulfikar Ali (Charminar); religious heads Dr Maulana Nissar Hussain, Najjaf Ali Shoukat, Mujtaba Markaji Anjuman; Syed Azmathullah Hussaini, Chairman of the Waqf Board; Maulana Syed Waheeduddin Hyder Jaffri; and various other department officers.

Traffic speed in Hyderabad improved by 6 kmph, says Police Commissioner CV Anand
HYDERABAD: The average traffic speed in the city has increased by 6 kmph compared to last year, thanks to Operation Rope and other initiatives by the Hyderabad Traffic Police, said Police Commissioner CV Anand. Speaking to the media at TGICCC, Banjara Hills, he noted that around 1,600 vehicles are being added to the city's roads every day. A year ago, the average speed was 17-18 kmph, which has now risen to 24-25 kmph. Across the three commissionerates, about 91 lakh vehicles are on the roads, with nearly 70% of them being two-wheelers. 'Though vehicle numbers keep rising, a 6 kmph increase in average speed is no small achievement,' Anand said. He said Operation Rope helped clear carriageways and improve vehicle flow. 'We're following a systematic approach to manage VIP and VVIP movements across the city,' he added. Explaining further, Anand said police are now handling VIP movement in a more planned and efficient manner. 'Earlier, we used manual mode during VIP movements. But now we're slowly shifting to automation, using manual intervention only when necessary. Even Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy has instructed us not to block traffic unnecessarily for his movement,' he said. He added that CCTV cameras have been installed on top of 25 high-rise buildings in the city. 'These provide a bird's-eye view of traffic, helping us evaluate and manage congestion better. More cameras will be added soon.' The traffic police are also using two drones to monitor road congestion and manage traffic. 'The drones help us identify where congestion starts and builds up, so we can act on it quickly,' Anand said.

Average speed of vehicle in city is 25 kmph: Hyd'bad police chief
Hyderabad: Hyderabad City Police Commissioner C V Anand emphasised that the average vehicle speed in the city has significantly increased to 24 to 25 kilometres per hour, up from last year's 17 to 18 kmph. The Commissioner attributed these positive results to the diligent efforts of the Hyderabad Traffic Police and extended his sincere thanks to everyone involved. On Friday, during a review meeting on traffic problems in Hyderabad City and their solutions, C V Anand noted that approximately 1,600 new vehicles are added to the roads every day. Across the three Commissionerates, a staggering total of 91 lakh vehicles are on the roads daily. During the meeting, the Commissioner provided guidance on the fundamental principles of traffic control and management. He stated that currently, 80 per cent of traffic signals in Hyderabad are operating on auto mode, which is effectively helping to clear traffic quickly. Regarding traffic violations, police are focusing on the quality of penalties rather than merely the quantity of fines imposed. This strategic approach, he explained, has led to a reduction in overall traffic fines. 'We are monitoring Hyderabad's traffic through drone cameras. To further improve Hyderabad's traffic system, we are taking assistance from Google. In addition to Google Maps, Google is also providing us with technical support,' he revealed. The Commissioner highlighted that, with the cooperation of owners of high rise multi storied buildings in Hyderabad, 25 'high rise cameras' are being installed on these buildings to obtain an 'Eagle View'. Through these, traffic officials can proactively identify traffic problems, alert local traffic authorities, and provide suggestions for appropriate solutions.
