The cream of the cops came together to dispel Mumbai's Monday morning traffic blues at a road safety initiative, 'Street Smart, Street Safe', at an Andheri hotel yesterday morning. The panel discussion and interactive session, with a substantial component on women's safety, was led by Transport Commissioner Shekar Channe, followed by Joint Commissioner of Traffic Amitesh Kumar, Inspector General of Police (Women's Safety) Krishna Prakash and IG of Cyber Crime Brijesh Singh. The glamour face of the campaign was Mandira Bedi.

When the cops, dressed in civilian attire, except Kumar who was in uniform, walked in, there was an unmistakable air of a crisp 'n' crackling presence. The emcee started off proceedings with, "Mumbai is one of the most densely populated cities in the world in terms of vehicular and pedestrian numbers. This presents unique and tremendous challenges for those in charge of road traffic and safety."
