Delhi Police's SMS service to receive traffic jams and diversion updates

 Delhi traffic police’s SMS alert service on traffic jams and diversion updates, launched three days ago, has already logged 21,240 subscribers with a majority describing it as a ‘world class service’.


The Delhi traffic police launched the free SMS service July 16 to help people plan their travel in the city.

‘We have received requests for traffic alerts from about 21,240 people and the number is increasing,’ said a traffic police officer, who manages the traffic helpline.

For subscribing to the service, one has to SMS ‘Join DTP’ to 09219592195.
The users can also unsubscribe to the facility, for which one has to send a text message ‘Leave DTP’ to 09219592195.

Those who have subscribed to the traffic alert service are praising the initiative.
