Delhi Police inducts 76 cranes, rolls out 125 new speed cameras to boost traffic enforcement
New Delhi (PTI): In a push to strengthen traffic enforcement and ease congestion, the Delhi Police on Saturday inducted 76 new cranes into its traffic unit and soft-launched 125 additional over-speeding detection cameras across the national capital.
The fleet of cranes, flagged off by Commissioner of Police Satish Golchha at the Police Headquarters, is aimed at enabling faster removal of illegally parked and stranded vehicles that contribute to traffic bottlenecks in the city.
Additionally, the force expanded its automated enforcement network with 125 new Over-Speeding Violation Detection (OSVD) cameras, taking the total to 250 cameras across more than 140 road stretches.
Equipped with high-resolution imaging and Automated Number Plate Recognition (ANPR), the cameras are integrated with the e-challan system, ensuring quicker and more transparent enforcement.
Senior officers said the initiative is part of a broader shift towards "faceless" and technology-driven policing to curb violations, a major cause of road accidents and fatalities in Delhi.
Addressing personnel later at a 'Sampark Sabha', Golchha stressed the role of the traffic unit, saying, "Traffic police is amongst the most visible units of Delhi Police. Therefore, our work must be effective and transparent so that public confidence is reposed."
He also stressed the need to prioritise road safety, adding that the intent of prosecution should be to reinforce discipline.

Will of people supreme, says Mahua Moitra after BJP's landslide victory in Bengal
Kolkata (PTI): A day after the Trinamool Congress faced a drubbing by the BJP in the West Bengal assembly elections, TMC MP Mohua Moitra on Tuesday said her party respects the mandate as the will of the people is supreme.
She also said that the party will continue the fight for a “secular country”.
In a post on X, Moitra said, “The will of the people is supreme. If Bengal wanted BJP, then Bengal has got BJP. We respect that.”
The BJP on Monday scripted history by winning 206 seats to secure more than a two-thirds majority in the West Bengal assembly polls, ending the TMC’s 15-year rule.
"We fought the good fight against unimaginable odds on an uneven pitch and for that I am proud of my leader & my party," Moitra said.
She said the TMC will continue to stand and fight for a secular country where the constitution, and "not brute majoritarianism, is the last word”.
