Delhi L-G TS Sandhu launches new website of traffic police

New Delhi, Sep 10 (AHN) Lieutenant Governor T.S. Sandhu on Thursday launched the upgraded website of the Delhi Traffic Police, providing citizens with a simpler, more interactive, informative, accessible and secure way to access traffic-related information and services online.

The upgraded website reflects Delhi Traffic Police's continuing effort to use technology not merely to provide information, but to make everyday interaction with traffic services simpler and more convenient for citizens, an official statement said.

Speaking on the occasion, Lieutenant Governor Sandhu emphasised that the platform must go beyond being an administrative interface and become an interactive hub for road safety awareness, civic education and proactive citizen participation.

He stressed upon the importance of using technology to make public services more accessible, efficient and responsive to citizens' needs.

Delhi Police Commissioner Anurag Kumar, Special Commissioner (Traffic) Ajay Chowdhary and other officials were present on the occasion.

"Designed around the everyday needs of commuters, the revamped website is user-friendly and can be accessed on mobile phones easily. It facilitates citizens to conveniently access information and services through mobile phones, tablets and other devices," the statement said.

The website enables any citizen to not only access and become aware of the challans issued against his/her vehicle by keying in the vehicle number but also gives the option of paying the amount pertaining to the challan through a QR code.

"The key focus of the upgrade is to make routine interactions with Traffic Police easier. For instance, citizens whose vehicles have been towed can access relevant vehicle information and locate the concerned towing location online, reducing the need for multiple enquiries," the statement added.

"The website has also been developed as a future-ready platform, allowing new services and citizen-focused initiatives of the Delhi Traffic Police to be added as they are introduced. Enhanced cyber security measures have been incorporated to provide a safe and reliable digital interface," it said.

The website offers features to the users that enable them to find out the best route and the congestion status of roads.

It also provides an interactive link where the user can understand the meaning of various road signage and road markings, making it easier for them to comply with the same.
