Summary:

"Though it is not practical to stay under shades and regulate traffic, officers have been asked to avoid long exposure to sunrays. As a solution, we are planning to distribute umbrellas to traffic officers. "Drinking water supply has already begun and Rs 50,000 has been earmarked for other initiatives in this regard," he said. As many as 50 umbrellas will be purchased soon and would be given to officers deployed at Vyttila and Kundannoor, where traffic regulation is inevitable," Surendran said. Ernakulam rural police chief SP Rahul R Nair said that similar measures were being taken in the rural limits also..
