“There has been a rush of traffic as the number of vehicles in the twin city has gone up to about 16 lakh. Considering this, traffic awareness is need of the hour”, he added.

Officials of the FM Radios including Red FM, Big FM, Radio Chocolate and Community Radio of the SOA University participated in the discussion organised by the Commissionerate Police at its headquarters here.

“As the FM Radio is becoming popular among the people especially the youths in the city, the programme would yield good results, said a radio jockey”.
