Kanpur Traffic Cops Beat Heat with AC Helmets: A Game-Changer for Summer Duty
•Kanpur traffic police are now equipped with high-tech AC helmets to combat scorching summer temperatures exceeding 45°C, addressing long-standing issues of heat exhaustion and discomfort.
•Developed by a Hyderabad-based manufacturer, these helmets feature an integrated cooling system with a rechargeable battery, providing up to eight hours of continuous cooling.
•Officers reported significant relief, improved focus, and sustained efficiency during long shifts, with Inspector Rahul Verma calling it a "game-changer."
•DCP Traffic Ravindra Kumar emphasized that the initiative prioritizes officer health and efficiency, leading to better public service, following positive feedback from trials.
•This initiative, part of Uttar Pradesh's 'smart policing' drive, follows successful trials in cities like Ahmedabad, Vadodara, and Noida, with Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath personally distributing helmets last year.
