Incoda, a city-based outdoor display and entertainment company, has introduced heavy duty manual traffic consoles for the Kolkata Traffic Police. | |
| The steel consoles would replace the old wood consoles in use now, in which two traffic constables were killed when they collapsed after being hit by vehicles. |
| |
| The consoles, each weighing 1750kg, had a steel tube structure in a circular frame clad in a half-inch thick moulded material, four-inch-thick LDF heat insulated roof and aluminum chequered plate floor with complete high-gloss finish. |
| |
| The kiosks had eight delineator posts with 5" retro-reflective tape, large lettering, solar blinkers, ceiling fan, spot lights and iron safe inside. |
| |
| Incoda vans and personnel would maintain the consoles, each costing around Rs 5 lakh. |
| |
| Arijit Dutta, director of Incoda, said the objective was to ensure that traffic staff felt comfortable and secure during working hours. |
| |
| Incoda was also into branding Metro Railway trains and ran the entertainment TV channels at 17 Metro stations underground. |
