Help cops manage traffic, DyCM tells IT firms

Deputy Chief Minister C N Ashwath Narayan on Saturday pitched for a decongestion model where software and technology companies can lend their security personnel to double up as traffic managers.

Ashwath Narayan, who holds charge of IT&BT department, held talks on Bengaluru development with various stakeholders, including Biocon chief Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw, Manipal Global Education Chairman T V Mohandas Pai, Janaagraha founders Swati and Ramesh Ramanathan, urban expert R K Misra and others.

Narayan was flagged with concerns on how traffic congestion in the city was coming in the way of productivity of IT companies.
