Come Commonwealth Games and you could see the `common man' regulating traffic on Delhi roads. Delhi Police has invited "motivated city residents" to enrol themselves as volunteers for traffic regulation during the sporting extravaganza to be held between Oct 3 and 14.
"We expect huge traffic during the event. Delhiites can help us in making the roads safer and congestion free. We have roped in cricketer Virender Sehwag to appeal to the people to join the programme," a senior police official said.
Police Commissioner YS Dadwal himself had admitted that there could be pressure on the traffic situation during the Games and said the authorities would carry out a campaign next month.
Under the programme, Delhiites above 18 years of age, who have passed Class XII, can enroll as a volunteers for 20 days between September 25 and October 15. "What you need is only a mobile phone and an email ID. If the volunteer has a driving licence, it is better.
