Pune Traffic Police Pause Routine E-Challans to Focus on Decongestion Pilot
Pune traffic police have paused routine roadside e-challan enforcement until August 31 to focus on easing congestion and improving traffic flow, Police Commissioner Amitesh Kumar announced. During this pilot phase, enforcement will rely more on CCTV and technology, with serious violations still addressed by senior officers. Traffic personnel will concentrate on managing busy junctions, reviewing signal timings, and preparing area-specific decongestion plans. Actions against drunk driving and other serious offenses will continue, with the initiative subject to review after the trial period.
