Himmat Jadhav, Deputy Commissioner of Police, said the campaign aims to encourage compliance with traffic rules, ensure transparent recovery of pending fines and strengthen traffic discipline in the city.
“We appeal to citizens to cooperate with the initiative and clear their dues within the prescribed time limit," he added.
Meanwhile, the Pune City Traffic Police has introduced an advanced traffic management software named ‘Trafficure’, developed with the support of Google Maps and in collaboration with L&T India. The initiative aims to make traffic regulation in Pune more efficient and data-driven.
Through the Trafficure system, real-time information regarding traffic congestion and slow-moving traffic on major as well as internal city roads will now be available to traffic authorities. The software features an independent alert mechanism that enables traffic police personnel to promptly reach congestion points and take immediate corrective action.
