Hyderabad traffic cops mop up over Rs 100 crore in fines till June

The revenue collection in the Tri-Commissionerates for traffic violations was around Rs 100 crore till June this year.

Hyderabad: It is a million dollar question for commuters and citizens of Hyderabad whether the traffic conditions will improve in the city in the near future.

The majority believes it won’t. The Hyderabad, Cyberabad, and Rachakonda police are concentrating on enforcement and not on giving priority to regulation of traffic in the Tri-Commissionerate.

The income generated by fining offenders in the three commissionerates under the MV Act and the City Police Act, shows that the traffic police are more interested in penalising commuters than in preventing traffic violations.

The revenue collection in the Tri-Commissionerates for traffic violations was around Rs 100 crore till June this year. The Cyberabad traffic police collected Rs 23 crore till October this year and Rachakonda traffic police collected Rs 22 crore in fines for traffic violations.
