Bangalore Traffic Police

A woman riding a scooter on a busy road is run over after being hit by a car door in a short clip shared by the Karnataka State Road Safety Authority's Twitter handle.

Bengaluru's Joint Commissioner of traffic police Dr BR Ravikanthe Gowda recently shared a chilling video and urged bikers to use only "good quality ISI mark helmet".

Dummy police are the newest recruits to law enforcement in Bangalore where authorities have adopted an unusual tactic to fight traffic offenders.

Following the backlash on imposing a blanket ban on non-ISI marked helmets, the Bengaluru City traffic police have decided to withdraw its drive on substandard helmets. The crackdown that was supposed to start from February 1, 2018, has been called off after the city traffic police asked for clarification from the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS).

Thousands of garment workers in Bengaluru clashed with the police and set buses and cars on fire today, angry with the government over a new controversial rule for provident funds, which has now been withdrawn.

The heart of a two-year-old boy who died on Friday morning at a hospital in Bengaluru was successfully transplanted into another young child in Chennai. The heart was rushed from one city to another, all within the space of four hours.

In a heart-warming action, city traffic police today created a "green corridor" to facilitate unhindered transport of a donor's heart from a hospital in Bangalore to the airport to be transplated on a patient at Chennai.

He works seven days a week, and is always on the job, even in the blazing summer sun. This is a traffic policeman who never takes a break - just the ticket in Bangalore's chaotic and often indisciplined traffic.

It was like travelling back in time in Bangalore today - to a time where traffic was smooth and you could get from one part of the city to another in a matter of minutes; a huge difference from the regular traffic snarls and delays that are part of the Bangaloreans normal life. Traffic signals were switched off and normally busy roads and junctions...

Commuters in and around Bangalore are complaining of huge traffic jams today, caused by a bus strike. Some state-owned buses are on the road with police escorts.

Paper challans and police notice books in Karnataka are being phased out and replaced by Bluetooth enabled printers, BlackBerry and a centralised database.

May 15 (PTI) A Yemeni national was arrested for allegedly assaulting a traffic constable when he was questioned for driving his motorbike without a helmet and his vehicle seized, police said.

The city police have advised revellers not to take vehicles to M G Road, Brigade Road, Residency Road, St Mark's Road and Church Street on the New Year's Eve.

The Bangalore Traffic police are playing it safe when it comes to dealing with the city drunken drivers. For the past 1 month traffic police have been recording all the interactions with drunk drivers, who are stopped at check posts and booked for offences.

Ever wondered why the traffic comes to a crawl during power cuts in the city? Reason: traffic signals will not work during blackouts if the batteries have been stolen. This was exactly the case with the traffic signals at Anepalya and Ashirwadam circle junctions on Residency road, which brought traffic to a lethargic crawl for hours.Though the traf...
