<p>Traffic policemen will soon be rewarded for their stressful work through a programme launched jointly by Bangalore City Traffic police and Traffic Police Care (TPC), an NGO.<br /><br /></p>.<p>Under the programme, commuters will vote whether they were happy or unhappy with the traffic police in a particular area. The selection for the reward will be based on the feedback from the commuters. <br /><br />The project will be launched on a pilot basis on October 1 at busy traffic junctions such as Koramangala Sony World junction, Silk Board junction, Manyata-Lumbini Park junction, CMH Road-BMSri junction and Jayanagar South End Circle. Addressing a press meet on Wednesday, TPC CEO Santosh Kumar said that commuters would have to dial a phone number to be displayed at the junctions. As they call the number, it gets disconnected automatically and immediately the caller will get a link via an SMS. The caller will have to go to a website through the link and can then vote ‘happy’ or ‘unhappy.’<br /><br />“Depending on the number of ‘happy’ votes a particular traffic cop gets, he will be given some rewards,” said Dayananda, Additional Commissioner of Police (Traffic). <br /></p>
