Delhi to get more traffic cameras to detect violations going mostly unpunished so far

The Delhi Traffic Police is in the process of installing 328 new cameras with features that will detect multiple violations simultaneously—including helmet-less riding, driving without seatbelt, using a mobile phone—and even track vehicles by their appearance, senior officers aware of the development have said. The new cameras will also generate evidence in the form of photographs and small videos, in cases such as speeding and wrong way driving violations, said deputy commissioner of police SK Singh. Singh said the new cameras will be able to detect traffic violations by two-wheelers as well, a feature that was not available in most of the already installed traffic cameras. “Our traffic personnel would analyse the data of such old and banned vehicles captured by the cameras and would accordingly take action as per the norms,” Singh said, and added that installation of traffic violation detections cameras is part of the Delhi Traffic Police’s project.
