The Tiruchi City Police on Saturday launched traffic marshals to improve the efficiency of traffic regulation and management in the city.
Commissioner of Police G. Karthikeyan, who flagged off traffic marshal police vehicles, said that the scheme was aimed at reaching the spots where traffic jams or accidents were reported within a few minutes. To enable the police personnel to reach the spots as early as possible, the traffic policemen posted in busy areas would be given two-wheelers fitted with communication gadgets and first aid box. The system would help clear bottlenecks that disrupt smooth flow of vehicles. Moreover, the traffic marshals would also be able to offer first aid to accident victims before the arrival of ambulance.

Bangladesh is witnessing renewed political tension after the killing of Sharif Osman Hadi, a young leader who emerged during the July–August 2024 uprising that led to the removal of Sheikh Hasina. Hadi later headed the radical group Inquilab Mancha and was campaigning ahead of the 2026 parliamentary election when he was shot in Dhaka. His death has triggered protests, diplomatic friction with India, and concerns over rising political violence as Bangladesh heads towards elections under an interim government.
