Good move by CM Revanth Reddy. But posting officers is just one step. We need better road infrastructure, synchronized signals, and proper pedestrian crossings. The footpaths in Jubilee Hills are non-existent! 🚶‍♀️

Respectfully, I have to ask: how many times have we seen such transfers? The problem is systemic - too many vehicles, poor public transport last-mile connectivity, and rampant illegal parking. Hope this time it's different.

It's encouraging to see women officers like Kajal and Chandana Deepti being given key traffic roles. Hope they tackle the auto-rickshaw and cab chaos effectively. They need to be strict with lane discipline.

The focus on Cyberabad is crucial. The tech corridors generate the most traffic. Maybe they can implement smart traffic management systems like in other global cities. Also, please fix the potholes before the rains! 🌧️

Good initiative. But will they also address the root cause? We need to promote carpooling, improve MMTS and bus services. Every family buying 2-3 cars is unsustainable for any city, let alone a growing metro like Hyderabad.
