Police in Gurugram have announced a sweeping enforcement operation that has resulted in the issuance of 26,030 traffic fines, totaling ₹1.62 crore, within a span of just seven days (27 April to 3 May 2026). The move is part of the Challan Nahi Salam Milega campaign, led by Traffic Deputy Commissioner, IPS, Prateek Gahloot.
According to the data released by the Gurugram Traffic Police, the 1.6‑crore fine bill was accumulated through a combination of ground patrols and high‑tech surveillance. A total of 13,555 fines were issued directly via cameras installed on the road. The remaining 12,475 were recorded by officers on the ground, targeting the most common violations.
Key violations cited include:
- Wrong‑side driving – 1,715 fines
- Wrong‑parking – 1,670 fines
- Head‑less riders (including pillion riders) – 1,850+ fines
- Drunk driving – 508 fines
- Unbuckled seat belts – 694 fines
The police have employed both drones and cameras from the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) to monitor critical corridors such as NH‑48, Dwarka Expressway and the Mumbai Expressway. These aerial and ground‑based systems have enabled the detection of lane‑changing and overspeeding incidents in real time.
Alongside the penalty enforcement, the Gurugram Traffic Police have conducted educational drives under the “Safety Ratha” program. Over 12 sites have hosted community sessions, educating more than 660 citizens on road safety. Additionally, the city’s “Traffic Mitra” initiative has received 188 applications, leading to the deployment of over 800 traffic marshals across the metropolitan area.
The police are urging residents to observe traffic rules not only to avoid hefty fines but also to protect their own lives and those of others on the road.
