Punjab’s Mohali municipal authorities will deploy 105 advanced traffic cameras, aiming to generate an electronic fine roughly every 53 seconds.
The Mohali municipal corporation announced a new traffic‑monitoring initiative that will see 105 high‑technology cameras installed across the city. The network is designed to automatically issue electronic challans, with the system projected to generate a fine approximately every 53 seconds.
Officials say the move is part of a broader effort to tighten compliance with road‑safety rules and reduce accidents caused by speeding, red‑light violations and other infractions. The cameras are equipped with real‑time detection and data‑link capabilities, allowing violations to be recorded and processed without manual intervention.
The deployment is expected to begin within the next few weeks, and authorities will monitor its impact on traffic behaviour. While the initiative aims to improve road safety, city residents have been advised to stay informed about the new enforcement measures to avoid unexpected penalties.
