Traffic police to be at full strength before Games

The Delhi Traffic Police will reach their sanctioned strength of 5,500 personnel before the Commonwealth Games (CWG) slated for October this year.

"We would reach our sanctioned strength of 5,500 personnel before the CWG," Special Commissioner of Police (Traffic) Ajay Chadha said.

Currently the traffic police have only 4,417 personnel against its sanctioned strength.

According to Chadha, the help of local police would also be sought in maintaining smooth traffic flow on the dedicated CWG traffic lanes.

About 5,000 volunteers are also to be drafted to assist in maintaining smooth traffic during the Games.
