New Delhi, Dec 15, (UNI) Delhi Traffic Police challaned over 24,000 vehicles and impounded 144 during a special enforcement drive Operation Chakravyuh, an officer said on Monday.
The police launched the drive on December 1 on the directions of Satish Golcha, Commissioner of Police, and the two-week-long operation was carried out by the Traffic Management Division in close coordination with local police stations and PCR units.
“The drive focused on habitual and serious traffic offenders at identified hotspots across the city,” said Shashank Jaiswal, Deputy Commissioner of Police, Traffic Management.
Under the operation’s strategy, traffic and local police personnel were deployed in a multi-tier formation for two hours daily, effectively sealing all entry and exit points at selected locations such as busy intersections, market areas, and accident-prone stretches.
“This ensured that traffic violators could not evade enforcement action,” the officer said.
As per the data, a total of 24,841 challans were issued for violations including riding without helmets, triple riding, drunken driving, wrong-side driving, rash and negligent driving, jumping traffic signals, and using mobile phones while driving.
Officers also impounded 144 vehicles for serious offenses, including cases where vehicles were found to be stolen.
In a significant development during the drive, police also detected narcotic substances inside a vehicle, leading to the registration of an FIR at Timarpur police station.
Senior officers said Operation Chakravyuh received positive feedback from law-abiding citizens, who welcomed the visible enforcement and stricter action against errant drivers.
“The drive, police said, played a crucial role in improving road discipline and reinforcing compliance with traffic rules,” the officer said.
