Pune Police has introduced a reward program that pays citizens for reporting traffic violations through its PTP app, encouraging public participation in road safety.
Pune Police has launched a new incentive scheme that offers cash rewards to citizens who report traffic violations using the Police Traffic Police (PTP) mobile application. The initiative aims to involve the public in monitoring road safety and to help the police enforce traffic rules more effectively.
Under the program, users can capture photos or videos of violations such as illegal parking, speeding, or reckless driving and submit them through the PTP app. Once verified, the complainant receives a monetary reward as a token of appreciation for their contribution.
The move is part of Pune’s broader effort to leverage technology for better traffic management and to create a safer driving environment for all road users. Police officials said the reward system will motivate residents to stay vigilant and report violations promptly.
The PTP app, already in use by Pune Police for various traffic-related tasks, will now also serve as a platform for citizen engagement. The reward scheme is expected to increase the number of reports and help the police identify problem spots more quickly.
