Hyderabad: While the final lap of the 158-km long Outer Ring Road (ORR) starts to take a shape, the authorities have now initiated steps for having a round-the-clock patrol equipped with ambulances, paramedical personnel and emergency services.
The Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) has called for bids for an Incident Management System (IMS) to assist road users and extend help in incident management. Vehicles equipped with required paraphernalia and manpower trained in traffic management will deal with breakdowns and identify as also address traffic hazards such as unauthorised parking, debris, stray animals and the like on the ORR.
Patrol vehicles will also be carrying equipment like fire extinguishers, gas cutters, torch lights, hydraulic jack, animal hook and first aid kit and cover the entire stretch at a four-hour frequency. |
