Indore (Madhya Pradesh): The traffic police resolved 19 complaints received through the helpline number and took action against the traffic rules violators. To improve the traffic situation in the city, officials had urged people to inform them after seeing any violation in the city. 

On the instruction of CP Santosh Kumar Singh and under the guidance of DCP Anand Kaladagi, a WhatsApp helpline number (7049107620) has been issued to citizens to register traffic-related complaints.

On September 27, the traffic police received 23 complaints through the helpline. Out of these, 19 were resolved promptly, while action on the remaining four is still underway.

The complaints mainly included issues related to traffic jams, violation of red lights, over speeding (particularly by auto-rickshaws that also tried to hide number plates using lemon and chili charms), vehicle checking, movement of heavy vehicles, non-compliance with one-way rules, illegal parking and requests regarding converting Siyaganj bridge into a one-way thoroughfare.

From the morning of September 27 to the morning of September 28, police took action and collected fines from drivers of 37 heavy vehicles for violating the rules.

The drivers were strictly warned that further violations would attract tougher action. They were advised to follow the administration’s guidelines and operate vehicles only at designated times on permitted routes.
