B'lore traffic police launches web

The web, "Public Eye", will enable citizens to upload videos and photographs of any traffic violations that they come across

GN Bureau | November 6, 2012



The Bangalore traffic police is ready to introduce a new website, called "Public Eye" which will enable citizens to upload videos and photographs of any traffic violations that they come across.

The new initiative, to be launched in a fortnight, is a website inspired by the response that the traffic police got through their Facebook page. Many people have been posting photographs and videos of traffic violations that they come across.

Citizens will also have to upload details like time, vehicle registration number and place. The user will also have to share his identity and the details, which will be guarded.

A special team formed to maintain and administer the website will register complaints and send them to particular traffic police stations. The time, place and the offence will be cross verified with the CCTV footage at the specified location and time at the Traffic Automation Centre. The traffic violators will be issued notices.

The city traffic police promise to act on all complaints within five days.
