Awkward Social Situation For Traffic Police

Delhi Traffic Police perhaps did not anticipate the questions that would come their way when communicating with the public through the Internet.
A few weeks ago the department had logged on to social networking site Facebook and microblogging engine Twitter to provide necessary information about its new plans and initiatives and also make users aware about the city's traffic condition.

Facebook has also offered a platform for citizens of Delhi to put their suggestions, reactions and views.



The initial few days were smooth for the police to handle. But of late certain questions have put the cops in an embarrassing situation.

For instance, Alok Kathuria, who identified himself as a Delhi resident, today asked through Facebook: "Will the GK1-Sant Nagar red light ever be fixed? It's been more than three months, the traffic does not stop because drivers coming from Nehru Place never get to know when it becomes red."
