Summary:
GURUGRAM: All traffic policemen in Gurugram will now be able to avail a weekly off — a basic entitlement in any job in India. All traffic unit in-charges have been asked to prepare a duty roster to decide weekly offs for cops so that they can spend time with their families,” he added.Apart from the off-days, Gurugram police have introduced several other measures to reduce the stress levels of traffic cops like giving them adequate rest during duty hours.“There is no need for traffic cops to stand on their feet throughout the day. As traffic load on roads during weekends is relatively low, we have decided to give weekly offs to half of the 1,700 force on Saturday and the remaining half the day after,” said Rao.“The move is aimed at creating a good work environment to reduce stress levels of cops. An off day is usually taken with the permission of a senior but service rules don't guarantee that as a right. Note down the registration number, alert the next check post and send challans by post,” he added..
