Hyderabad Citizens Helping Cops Issue Traffic Challans
Some people in Hyderabad are watching out for bad drivers!
They report traffic violations to the police.
The police then give tickets, called challans, to those who break the rules.
In the last few months, lots of tickets were issued, and the police collected a lot of money in fines.
People report things like not wearing helmets or parking in the wrong spot.
The police check the reports before giving tickets, sometimes by looking at cameras or talking to the person who reported it.
This helps make sure everyone follows the rules and keeps the roads safe.
Hyderabad traffic police issued 30,000 challans in the last five months based on citizen complaints.
Citizens report traffic violations through social media platforms.
Common violations include riding without helmets, jumping signals, and wrong parking.
Traffic police have collected ₹1 crore in fines in the last five months.
The police verify complaints before issuing challans by checking CCTV footage and contacting complainants.
