Hyderabad: The Hyderabad Traffic Police, in association with McDonald’s, organised a traffic awareness programme at the Traffic Control Room here on Wednesday. The event was aimed at inculcating traffic discipline among motorists and rewarding those adhering to the traffic rules.
About 50 persons who were found following traffic rules were presented gift coupons and rose flowers by Hyderabad Police Commissioner Anjani Kumar and representatives of McDonald’s.
Speaking on the occasion, Anjani Kumar said during the programme, the traffic police interacted with 500 drivers and educated them about traffic rules.
