Pelican Signaling System
Delhi Police has engaged a private agency for installation of Pelican Signals in the NCT of Delhi.
Delhi Police has reported that no such incident of theft of Traffic Signals has been reported but incidents of misuse of Pelican Signals have been occasionally noticed by the area traffic officers. To prevent the misuse of Pelican Signals, following measures have been initiated by the Traffic Unit of Delhi Police:
Spreading awareness about the operation of Pelican Signals.
Proper deployment of traffic staff at selected signals where repetitive misuse is found.
As per the seventh schedule to the Constitution of India ‘Police’ and ‘Public Order’ are State Subjects and, as such, the primary responsibility of policing lies with the State Governments / Union Territory Administrations.
