Odisha Police To Extend Student Traffic Volunteer Scheme To Five Cities: DGP

At present, 171 student traffic volunteers in Bhubaneswar and 100 are engaged in Cuttack.

As per the scheme, the students are paid Rs 100 per day for three hours of duty.

Notably, the commissionerate police had launched private traffic volunteer scheme in May 2015 to overcome staff shortage to assist the police in regulating traffic.

However, the service was discontinued as the volunteers demanded remuneration.
