Four cabs in LB Nagar zone and Bhongir zone of the Rachakonda Commissionerate were launched by Rachakonda Police Commissioner Mahesh Bhagwat here on Monday.

These cabs were made available by Vanasthalipuram Srinivasa Tours and Travel Agency and can be used during night curfew from 9 pm to 5 am in LB Nagar, Vanasthalipuram, Choutuppal and Ibrahimpatnam areas. Bhagwat said the service could be availed by senior citizens, pregnant women and women in need of emergency medical help by calling Rachakonda Control Room number 9490617234.

The service, however, was not for Covid-19 victims, Bhagwat said, adding that the Alyte free cab service was operating in

Both these facilities could be availed by calling the Rachakonda control room.

Bhagwat said 1,339 police personnel of the Rachakonda Police were affected with Covid-19, with more than 300 of them in the second wave.
