The Traffic Praheri app has turned Delhi residents into an active part of law enforcement by allowing them to report road violations directly. Between September 1, 2024, and March 15, 2025, the Delhi Traffic Police received over 3.5 lakh reports through this digital platform. On average, more than 600 complaints are submitted daily by vigilant citizens who act as the eyes of the police on the ground.
How the Traffic Praheri App Works for Citizens
The application allows users to record and report common violations such as riding without a helmet and driving in the wrong direction. Once a report is submitted with proof, the Delhi Traffic Police reviews the data and issues official challans to the offenders. This system ensures that traffic rules are monitored even in the absence of physical police checkpoints. The initiative aims to improve road discipline across the capital by involving the general public in monitoring.
Data on Traffic Complaints and Rewards
The Delhi Traffic Police is also providing cash rewards to citizens to encourage them to report violations. This has led to a significant increase in the number of active users on the app. The following data highlights the scale of public participation over the last few months.
| Description | Statistics |
|---|---|
| Total Complaints (Sept 2024 – March 2025) | Over 3.5 Lakh |
| Daily Average Complaints | 600+ |
| Common Violations Reported | No Helmet, Wrong Side Driving |
| Incentive for Citizens | Cash Rewards |
Officials have stated that the high volume of complaints shows the growing awareness among Delhi residents regarding road safety. By processing these reports and issuing fines, the police are able to maintain a stricter check on traffic violators while rewarding those who help uphold the law.
