Trichy district police took a significant step toward enhancing road safety on Friday. They officially opened a modern police assistance booth along the busy Trichy-Chennai national highway.
Inauguration and Location Details
Superintendent of police S Selvanagarathinam inaugurated the new facility. The booth is strategically positioned beneath the bridge that connects Kollidam Roundana with the Trichy-Chennai-Chidambaram national highway.
Purpose and Funding
This initiative aims to provide immediate access to police assistance for travelers using this important highway. Funding for the booth came entirely from corporate social responsibility contributions made by private companies.
Advanced Features and Facilities
The modern booth comes equipped with several advanced features designed to improve security and response times. It includes direct monitoring capabilities for nearby highway CCTV cameras. This allows police to quickly detect and respond to accidents or criminal activities occurring on the highway.
For police personnel working at the booth, basic amenities have been thoughtfully provided. These include tables, chairs, and drinking water facilities to support highway patrol and beat officers during their shifts.
Operational Details and Future Plans
Police authorities confirmed that round-the-clock personnel will be deployed at the booth on a shift basis. These officers will be available to assist the public during emergencies at any time of day or night.
Looking ahead, police officials stated their intention to establish similar booths across all national highways in the region. This expansion aims to further strengthen road safety measures and improve emergency response mechanisms for travelers throughout the area.
