WhatsApp to solve Traffic Jam Problems in Hyderabad:
Hyderabad: IT organizations are now frequently relying on local WhatsApp groups to share active traffic information in the city. Each organization in the IT sector now has several groups especially for sharing traffic information during peak hours. TITA president Mr. Sundeep Kumar Makthala said that whenever someone gets stuck in a traffic jam, he or she posts the information immediately on the group so that others can be aware of the traffic jam, Meanwhile, others suggest alternate routes if available.
“Almost all, from a class VI employee working in IT companies to software professionals, check Google Maps before starting for office or home to check real-time traffic,” he said. Mr. K. Koushik, an IT professional from Oracle, said that besides IT organizations, employees from particular localities were also maintaining Whatsapp groups. “I come from Taranagar in Serilingampally. We have an exclusive group involving about 50 software engineers from HUDA Colony, Chanda-Nagar, Kanukunta, BHEL and Vemana Colony. Besides them, there are another 30 techies from the Patancheru area, Ramachandrapuram, and Tellapur, We use this group to share traffic information".
