Are you really tired of watching traffic violators get away while you follow the rules? Here’s some good news — citizens can now regain control. The Traffic Prahari app gives you the ability to contribute to the solution. In addition to assisting law enforcement, reporting violations of traffic laws from your phone can earn you a sizable cash incentive of up to ₹50,000 each month. It’s an innovative take on civic responsibility — and it pays.
What Is The Traffic Prahari App?
Though initially released in 2015, this traffic app has subsequently been updated with new features and a more structured approach. Road rage, illegal parking, risky overtaking, wrong-side driving, red light skipping, and other traffic violations can all be reported by users.
Simply take a picture or record a video with the app, then report it on the app. After the video has been verified, citizens can participate as citizen journalists and earn cash prizes and other rewards.
How To Use The Traffic Prahari App
Users of iOS and Android can download the Traffic Prahari app from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. Users must register using their phone number and confirm it with a one-time password (OTP) after downloading the app. Users can begin reporting traffic violations after registering.
To file a complaint, take a picture or record a video of the violation that prominently displays the vehicle number.
• Verify that the image contains the GPS location and timestamp, which are automatically added by the app.
• Using the app’s interface, upload the file, then click “Submit.”
Each complaint is then confirmed by the Delhi Traffic Police staff. The offender receives a challan if it satisfies the specifications. To stop abuse and fraudulent reporting, reports are carefully examined.
How To Register In The App
- Go to the Google Play Store and download the “Prahari” app.
- Register with an OTP and a mobile number.
- Take a clear picture of the car if you see someone breaking the law.
- Add the time and location information and upload it to the app.
- The Delhi Traffic Police will check the photo after it is submitted to make sure it is authentic and unrelated to any personal conflicts. If accepted, the contributor is informed, and the owner of the offending vehicle receives a challan.
Monthly Incentive For Leading Contributors
The Delhi Traffic Police provides a structured cash reward scheme to keep participants motivated. The most correct and active contributor gets Rs. 50,000 every month. Contributions of Rs. 25,000, Rs. 15,000, and Rs. 10,000 are given to the following individuals accordingly. In addition to offering a useful cash incentive, this reward system seeks to foster a sense of civic duty.
The 2015 Traffic Sentinel Scheme and other earlier initiatives are built upon by the Traffic Prahari app, which uses new technologies to achieve better results and reach more people. SK Singh, the Deputy Commissioner of Police (Traffic) for Delhi Police, emphasizes that public participation gives traffic enforcement a crucial new dimension. The app has received support from the city’s leadership, including Lieutenant Governor Vinay Kumar Saxena, who sees it as a step in the right direction for road safety and civic engagement.
The Traffic Prahari app transforms common smartphones into instruments for enhancing road behavior and gives residents an opportunity to participate while receiving prizes in a city where traffic infractions have long been a problem.
