Bangalore traffic police have deployed around 30 life-size mannequins, in police uniforms, to regulate traffic in the city and curb violations.

The police think that the mannequins will act as a deterrent to traffic violators at small junctions.

The location of the mannequins will also be changed regularly so that people don't get used to mannequins. This is not the first time that traffic police have used unique methods to create awareness among people. Earlier cardboard cut-outs of police were used.

The mannequins are dressed as police with reflector jackets, white shirts, khaki pants, hats and black shoes.

Many on social media have welcomed the unique move and praised the police for thinking out of the box.
