New Delhi: With temperatures in parts of the Delhi-NCR crossing 45 degrees Celsius, the Delhi Traffic Police has launched a pilot project deploying wearable cooling devices, including solar-assisted AC helmets, to protect personnel posted for long hours at busy intersections from extreme heat conditions.
Under the initiative, traffic personnel deployed at high-congestion points such as the Teen Murti roundabout and other major crossings have been equipped with specialised cooling helmets, portable fans and emergency hydration support as authorities grapple with intense heatwave conditions sweeping Delhi and adjoining areas.
