Visakhapatnam Police Deploy Rs 18 Lakh Speed Laser Guns to Curb Traffic Violations
The system records offences and enables electronic issuance of challans
Visakhapatnam: Police Commissioner Dr Shakhya Brata Bagchi on Friday introduced two speed laser guns for Visakhapatnam traffic police to strengthen enforcement against violations and improve road safety, officials said.
The devices, each valued at about ₹18 lakh, were handed over in consultation with Ketan Garg under a Corporate Social Responsibility initiative.
Police said the speed laser guns can detect violations from up to 100 metres, including over-speeding, reckless driving, helmetless riding, triple riding, and driving against traffic. The system records offences and enables electronic issuance of challans.
Officials said the devices are integrated with the National Informatics Centre system, allowing real-time, contactless fine generation using AI.
Bagchi said the technology would help improve compliance and reduce accidents in high-risk areas, and thanked the GVMC for its support.
Police said an additional speed laser gun has been sanctioned under CSR by South Asian LPG and will be handed over soon.
