₹5 crore community-funded force, accounting for 60% of traffic personnel, keeps Hyderabad’s IT corridor moving

In Hyderabad’s high-density IT corridor, a ₹5 crore community-funded initiative has turned traffic marshals into a critical pillar of on-ground traffic management, accounting for nearly 60% of personnel handling peak-hour congestion in the region.

Official figures from Cyberabad police indicate that the commissionerate has around 800 traffic personnel on ground duty, with nearly half deployed in the IT corridor — one of the city’s busiest stretches, home to major tech parks, corporate campuses and residential projects across Gachibowli, Raidurgam, Madhapur and Narsingi police station limits.
