Thiruvananthapuram: The trifurcation of city traffic division may be a distant possibility. “There are at least five sub-inspectors including grade sub-inspectors and additional sub-inspectors in a local police station. Each sector is headed by a sub-inspector or a grade sub-inspector. Each sub-division is headed by an assistant commissioner each and assisted by a circle-inspector.The north sub-division is divided into six sectors spread across the area under nine local police stations. Assigning one of them for traffic duties may help ease the work of our sub-inspectors, especially at major spots that come under suburban areas like Mannanthala and Vizhinjam,” the officer said.

Thiruvananthapuram: The trifurcation of city traffic division may be a distant possibility. But, traffic department officials opine that it is high time a system to ease their workload was put in place as the existing strength of officers is less.At present, the city traffic division has two sub divisions – north and south – both functioning out of the office at Pattom. Each sub-division is headed by an assistant commissioner each and assisted by a circle-inspector.The north sub-division is divided into six sectors spread across the area under nine local police stations. Each sector is headed by a sub-inspector or a grade sub-inspector. Similarly, the south sub-division is divided into five sectors that include 11 local police stations.“On an average, a sub-inspector in the traffic division has to cover an area that is equivalent or more than the limits of two local police stations,” said a senior police officer attached to the traffic division.Sharing the workload with their counterparts at local police stations could help improve the efficiency of traffic regulation. “There are at least five sub-inspectors including grade sub-inspectors and additional sub-inspectors in a local police station. Assigning one of them for traffic duties may help ease the work of our sub-inspectors, especially at major spots that come under suburban areas like Mannanthala and Vizhinjam,” the officer said.
