Air pollution a health hazard for traffic cops on duty says senior officer

Kolkata, Sep 1 (IBNS): Police personnel who handle traffic on city roads are the most exposed to everyday air and noise pollution, and therefore, any effort to stem the pollution by planting and nurturing plants is a welcome effort, said Assistant Commissioner of Kolkata Police, Amit Nath.

He was speaking at the inauguration of a tree planting campaign and photography exhibition at the premises of Kolkata's Tollygunge Police Station, recently.

The project is part of a Save Nature Save Mankind campaign mooted by Lensnwings, a Kolkata based organization, in association with Kolkata Police's Tollygunge Traffic Guard and Siddha Foundation.

"This is just a beginning and hopefully we will be able to carry out this green project in other police stations too," said Nath.  

An exhibition of photographs taken by police officers and curated by Somnath Mitra, Additional Officer-in-Charge of the Tollygunge Traffic Guard, was also put up for public viewing.
