Delhi being the capital of India
attracts a large number of people from different
parts of the country. The city witnesses a wide
range of social, political and economical
activities on every day basis. The city's
population is increasing rapidly with a consequent
increase in the number of vehicles without
commensurate increase in road length. The number
of vehicles registered in Delhi has already
crossed 6 million and a sizeable vehicular traffic
joins Delhi roads from the neighbouring states. The
roads of Delhi also have the distinction of
witnessing a mix of a wide range of mechanized and
non-mechanized vehicles. Cycle-rickshaws and
horse-driven vehicles compete for the limited
available road space with heavy goods vehicles and
fast moving cars and other modes of travels.
Traffic regulation, prevention and reduction in
the number of accidents as well as
inculcating a sense of discipline amongst road
users are high on the agenda of Delhi Traffic
Police. Despite several constraints Traffic Police
is making continuous efforts for ensuring smooth
and unhindered traffic, prosecuting traffic
offenders and educating general public.
Forthcoming Commonwealth Games -2010 are likely to
throw up a big challenge for Delhi Traffic Police.
We are in the process of upgrading our systems as
well as increasing the strength of traffic
personnel on the road to meet the challenge.
Needless to say the Delhi Traffic Police cannot
succeed without the active cooperation of several
sister agencies as well the citizens at large.
Our website provides a very useful and important
forum for citizens to offer suggestions or to
lodge complaints. The website also has very
useful and important information about Delhi in
particular and safe-driving in general.
Citizens can also benefit from various Traffic
advisories posted on the website from time to
time. I am sure that through this
interactive website we will be able to forge a
strong relationship with the citizens of Delhi.
