Mangaluru : Police Commissioner S Murugan has said that the department has decided to collect fine from the traffic rules violators based on CCTV and surveillance camera footages on daily basis in the city.

Speaking to media persons during the monthly SC/ST grievances meeting at his office here on Sunday, Murugan said that notice would be served on motorists in case of rash driving, jumping traffic signal, riding without helmet and other kind of traffic violations and they can pay the fine at respective traffic police stations.

“To avoid parking of vehicles on footpath and by the roadside, especially in ‘no parking’ zones, around 140 wheel locks are being used. Traffic density is increasing in Hampankatta junction, Nantoor and Pumpwell Circle. Though the department is finding temporary solutions, information has been conveyed to the Highway authorities”, Murugan said.

Night patrolling is not regular because of various reasons. The police would take steps to improve the service and staff would go on night beats at least thrice in a month. The process of installation of CCTV cameras is still at the government level, he said.

Meanwhile, the police commissioner said that each station was adopting one village to build strong public relations.
