Mother-Daughter Duo Foils Chain Snatchers in Hyderabad

Brave Mother-Daughter Duo Foils Robbery Attempt in Hyderabad

Hyderabad: In a courageous act of self-defense, a mother and her daughter fought off two chain snatchers in Pahadishareef, Hyderabad, ultimately forcing the robbers to flee and abandon their bike.

The incident occurred during a morning walk when G Kalpana (32) from Mankhal village, along with her daughter Laxmi Prasanna and other local children, was suddenly attacked. One of the robbers threw chilli water on Kalpana’s face and snatched her gold chain.

“He was standing on the pavement. I got off the pavement to avoid him, but he caught hold of me and pulled me into the bushes. He snatched the gold chain from my neck,” Kalpana recounted to Telangana Today.

Despite the shock, Kalpana quickly regained her composure and managed to grab the robber, preventing his escape. The situation escalated when the robber’s accomplice joined the attack, and both men began hitting Kalpana. Her daughter Laxmi came to her aid, and together, they fiercely resisted.

Both Kalpana and her daughter sustained injuries and were taken to the hospital, where they received stitches. They then reported the incident to the Pahadishareef police station. A special police team was able to arrest the suspects, Shamsheer Singh and Dandla Babu, shortly after.

“Shamsheer and Babu had been involved in several property offences and arrested too. The Sangareddy police had also invoked the PD Act against them,” Maheshwaram Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) D Sunitha Reddy stated.

The bravery displayed by Kalpana and her daughter not only led to the arrest of two notorious criminals but also highlighted the importance of community vigilance and the willingness to stand up against crime.

Karimnagar Gets Red-Light Cameras for Safety

Karimnagar to Implement Automatic Red-Light Cameras to Improve Traffic Flow

Following Adjustments to Traffic Signals

In an effort to enhance traffic management in Karimnagar, authorities are set to activate automatic red-light violation detection cameras starting June 15th. This initiative comes after the inauguration of a traffic signaling system six months ago. Initially, the system faced public criticism due to extended waiting times. In response, officials adjusted the signal timings to optimize traffic flow.

Addressing Traffic Violations

Despite the improved signaling system, some drivers continue to disregard traffic rules. To tackle this issue, authorities will be installing cameras at key intersections including the District Bus Stand, Collectorate Chowk, Telangana Chowk, and several others.

Multi-function Cameras for Enhanced Safety

These advanced cameras will not only detect red-light violations but also a range of other traffic offenses. This includes speeding, using mobile phones while driving, taking wrong routes, rash driving, riding triples on two-wheelers, and driving without helmets or seatbelts. Captured violations will be automatically transmitted to a central control room for review.

Verification and Penalty Process

Police will verify the captured violations before forwarding the information to both traffic police and Regional Transport Authority (RTA) officials. Once verified, vehicle owners will receive mobile phone notifications with details of the offense and instructions for paying the corresponding fine.

Comprehensive Traffic Management System

The red-light cameras are part of a larger Integrated Traffic Management System. This system will ultimately include a total of 85 automatic red-light violation detection cameras and 174 CCTV cameras strategically positioned throughout Karimnagar to ensure better traffic regulation and overall safety.
