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.
