Telangana CM Orders Police to Prevent Traffic Halts During VIP Convoys

A planned Traffic Bureau signals a shift toward statewide, standardized convoy protocols.

Overview

  • The directive, issued Wednesday after a traffic jam near Hyderabad airport, tells police to keep public movement flowing during the Chief Minister’s and other VIPs’ travel.
  • DGP C. V. Anand held a state‑wide video conference with sub‑inspector and above ranks from law and order and traffic wings to deliver the orders.
  • Police announced plans for a dedicated Traffic Bureau under an Additional DGP, with its design now being finalized to unify rules across the state.
  • Field officers were told to regulate flow instead of fully stopping vehicles, to map alternate routes during peak hours, and to increase vigilance around the airport.
  • Officials were warned to act against illegal parking on the Outer Ring Road and to prepare for monsoon rains by preventing water stagnation that can trigger gridlock.
