Bangalore: Police Commissioner Neelam Achuta Rao on Sunday lamented the lack of support to the Traffic Warden Organisation (TWO). He promised to provide support to expand its activities.

Speaking after reviewing the 21st Raising Day parade of the chief traffic warden and traffic wardens taken out by the TWO here on Sunday, Mr. Rao praised the TWO's activities, especially for introducing traffic awareness programmes in schools in the city.

Muralidhara from the west wing; Nataraja A. from the north wing; A. Surendra from the south wing; D. Ghosh from the central wing; and Dev Subramanya from the Audugodi wing, received the awards.
