Mangalore: 'Karmika Parishat' Volunteers to Be City Traffic Wardens


Mangalore: 'Karmika Parishat' Volunteers to Be City Traffic Wardens
Daijiworld Media Network—Mangalore (RS/CN)
 

Mangalore, Mar 23: In an effort to improve the traffic system of the city, Karmika Parishath, the association of bus workers and auto drivers, has formed a 35-member traffic warden system under the leadership of Ivan D’Souza, president, Karmika Parishat.


Karmika leader - Ivan Dsouza

D’Souza said that the traffic system of the city is in chaos because of the increase in the number of vehicles and his organization had decided to provide their service in this matter. 

D’Souza is the chief traffic warden for this system. The traffic wardens who have been trained by the police are stationed at main places in the city and are engaged in signaling to vehicles and helping aged people cross the road. 

Each warden will be on duty at signals for two hours every day during rush hour.

 

“It is a volunteer system formed by the police department as the wardens are trained under deputy superintendent of police D Dharmayya, circle inspector G V Subrahmaniam, and sub-inspectors Siddappa, and Guru Kamath”, said D’Souza. 

The city has a shortage of traffic police and violations in traffic rules are the main causes for accidents. 

School going children and elderly people find it hard to safely cross the roads. Ongoing roadwork has also made the city too crowded with vehicles and the traffic warden system will work to avoid accidents and help curb traffic violators.  

The traffic warden system was inaugurated by former DGP Shrikumar in February this year. 
The uniforms for the wardens have been provided by Corporation Bank.

Jayaraj Jeppinamogaru will be the supervisor for wardens.

    Good constructive step taken. Very often we see the problem but refuse to own it and be a part of the solution. Here is a team that has owned the problem and has found a solution without engaging in blame game. I wish them all the best.

    Good Job!!! Keep it up thats the spirit of Mangalorean. One suggestion can the 4 wheelers park parallel so that more road can be used for motorist. It cost lots of concrete, lets not use it for parking.

    I fully agree with Mr. Sunil Pinto, Falnir, Mangalore. Whenever I go to Mangalore, I happen to pass through this busy Avery Junction & invariably get caught in the traffic jam. I have witnessed arguments, exchange of abusive words (and sometimes blows too!!) So it would be nice on the part of Mr. Ivan D'Souza to view the matter very seriously and post atleast two traffic wardens at this junction.

    Hmmmm.... Group photo is nice. The least bothered and betrayed field by all is Agriculture. If Agriculture is there, we have something to eat and we can live for some days. City grows nothing... Villages grow food. These people are very much needed there for Agricultural work. Like the Kannada saying "Kettu Pattana Seru.." all of us came to city ditching agriculture. Now... Here...Karmika ... What he will do ? Nothing... Karmika Parishath or Traffica Parishath !!!

    Congratulations Ivan! Keep up the good work. Please post a warden at the busy AVERY JUNCTION in FALNIR. Inspite of several requests, the police department is not at all bothered to post a constable at this busy junction and as a result, there are traffic jams throughout the day. Please do the needful at the earliest. Thank you.
