Maharashtra CM Eknath Shinde on Wednesday directed the Mumbai police commissioner not to put any traffic constable above the age of 55 on duty on the city’s roads.

Shinde was prompted to issue the directive when he saw some senior constables on duty in the noonday sun as he drove to Mumbai from Thane earlier in the day. He immediately called Mumbai police commissioner Vivek Phansalkar and gave him necessary instructions.

The CM also said traffic constables suffering from serious ailments should not be put on duty on roads. Further, proper arrangements should be made for shade and water for the constables deployed on roads. pti
