Mumbai:
The Maharashtra government on Wednesday informed the Bombay High Court that it will have training sessions for traffic constables in the city on behavioural science and has contacted the Tata Institute of Social Science (TISS) over the issue.
"We will design a module for imparting training in behavioural science to constables," Assistant government pleader Jasbir Saluja told the division bench of Chief Justice Mohit Shah and Justice Dalvi.
The court was hearing a petition filed by the Bombay Bar Association seeking strict implementation of traffic rules in the city.
Saluja further informed the court that some training sessions have already started. At this the Chief Justice asked, "But will we see the difference?"
The court also asked the government to find out from the Road Transport Office (RTO) that by when would the entire data of vehicle registration numbers and owners' details get computerised.
The RTO has also been directed to inform the court about it by December 20.
