Nashik: In a major step to tighten traffic discipline, the Nashik Police Commissionerate will activate an Automatic Traffic Violation Detection System at 40 major city signals from Friday, February 20.
The system uses Red Light Violation Detection (RLVD) and Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras to automatically capture offences. An e-challan with fine details will be sent directly to the violator’s registered mobile number.
Fines will range from ₹500 to ₹1,000, depending on the offence.
The initiative is part of traffic management measures ahead of the Simhastha Kumbh Mela 2027, as roadwork and increased vehicle movement have caused frequent congestion and violations across the city.
A dedicated control room has been set up at the Police Commissionerate to monitor and process violations in real time.
If the e-challan is not cleared within the stipulated time, the case will be forwarded to court for further legal action.
Assistant Commissioner of the Transport Department Anvita Shinde said:
“Traffic has increased due to Kumbh-related works. This automated system will help curb violations. Citizens should wear helmets and seat belts and strictly follow traffic signals to avoid penalties.”
