Traffic Warden Scheme

Hosur Industries Association (HIA), to augment the Police force, to encourage the citizens of Hosur to contribute to Road Safety and the betterment of Hosur, launched the “Traffic Wardens Scheme” in association with the Police Department in the year 2009 as part of the CSR initiative.

Under the scheme, volunteers from the industrial units in and around Hosur are enrolled after verification by the police department. The Traffic Police team trains the wardens on the rules and regulations governing the Traffic Warden Scheme. The entire expenditure towards uniforms and other accessories, such as Identity Card, Reflecting jackets, Raincoats, Baton flashlights, T-shirts, etc., is sponsored by member companies of HIA.

The Main duties of the traffic wardens are assisting Traffic constables in controlling traffic in the main junction points during peak hours. Every Traffic warden has to do 16 hours of duty in a month apart from their regular work in the industry and household chores. To be a traffic warden, one has to be self-motivated with a sense of social responsibility, which drives them to contribute their best for the welfare of the town in which they live. This requires selfless dedication and commitment to perform the duty on the road amidst the different temperaments of public onrushing vehicles.

Enforcing the traffic rules and ensuring the safety of the Hosur citizens on the road are the major objectives of the traffic wardens scheme. Several young boys joined, dedicating their time and being well-recognized by society. The family members of traffic wardens are very happy and supportive of this movement.

During critical days such as local festival days, political meetings & rallies, Vinayagar Chaturthi & its processions days, Govt. dignitaries & election duty at the district level, etc., all traffic wardens are fully involved in the bandobast duty along with the police force. The Superintendent & Deputy Superintendent of Police, Krishnagiri, commend their committed service, and Traffic Wardens are designated as Special Task Force.

HIA, along with Traffic wardens, thank the SP & DSP of the Police Department for their able guidance and support in making this scheme run successfully in Hosur town for the last ten years. Round 39 wardens are serving for a decade and deserve appreciation for their enthusiasm and commitment.

It’s worth mentioning the participation of Traffic wardens in the District Level Republic Day Parade in the presence of the District collector, along with the other contingents. Every year, the performance in the Parade is appreciated and honoured. In the Republic Day parade of 2023, the Road Safety students were also included.

The Hosur Police Department entrusted the work of monitoring the 80-plus CC TV cameras installed in various parts of the town to Traffic wardens. This demonstrates their meticulousness in watching the movement of traffic and guiding the constables & wardens at that site to regulate and streamline the traffic to ensure smooth flow.

Periodically, the Traffic Committee Chairman, Mr. Arvind M Ahi of Hosur Industries Association, convenes the meetings of Traffic wardens with the Senior Police officials to interact and voice their suggestions for improving road safety and to address their concerns, if any.

Most importantly, the main purpose of Traffic wardens is to create awareness of Road Safety among the public, employees, and students. Traffic wardens, along with Police officials, conduct Road Safety Programs in schools, colleges, industrial units, residential associations, etc. Traffic wardens currently take part in many helmet rallies to create awareness of & the importance of helmet usage among the public. The traffic wardens’ scheme is a movement & continuous program aiming to ensure accident-free safety on the road with the commitment & participation of industries.
