Chandigarh to launch geo-tagged app for traffic violations
Chandigarh is making a new app to help people report bad driving.
You can take pictures or videos of people breaking traffic rules and send them to the police.
The app will show exactly where the bad driving happened.
You have to sign up to use the app, but you can stay anonymous if you're scared.
The police hope this will make the roads safer.
Right now, they're testing the app and will launch it soon.
It's like what Delhi already has, but for Chandigarh.
Chandigarh Traffic Police plan to launch a geo-tagged app for reporting traffic violations.
The app will allow users to upload photos, videos, or audio evidence of violations.
Mandatory user registration is required, with an option for anonymity.
The app will automatically capture GPS coordinates for precise location data.
The initiative aims to strengthen road discipline and enhance the efficiency of traffic enforcement.
