Pune, May 7, 2026: The Pune City Traffic Police organised an award ceremony on Tuesday to honour citizens who actively reported traffic rule violations through the ‘PTP – Pune Traffic Police’ mobile application.
The event was held at the office of the Deputy Commissioner of Police (Traffic) in Yerawada, where citizens who registered the highest number of valid complaints during March 2026 were felicitated for contributing towards improving traffic discipline in the city.
The PTP mobile application was developed by Pune Traffic Police to encourage public participation in traffic management and improve transparency in enforcement. Through the app, citizens can upload photographs or videos of traffic violations committed by motorists. After verification, traffic police issue penalties and e-challans against violators.
As part of the initiative, a reward scheme was introduced jointly by the Pune Traffic Police and PPCR for the top five contributors who submitted the most effective complaints.
Under the scheme, the first prize winner received Rs 50,000 along with a certificate of appreciation, while the second, third, fourth, and fifth prize winners were awarded Rs 25,000, Rs 15,000, Rs 10,000, and Rs 5,000 respectively.
The awards and certificates were presented by Manoj Patil.
According to traffic police officials, a total of 1,71,714 citizens have used the PTP app so far, leading to the registration of 3,10,169 complaints related to traffic violations across Pune city.
After verification of the complaints, authorities issued e-challans in 2,15,392 cases. Officials stated that fines amounting to nearly Rs 26.34 crore have been collected from violators through the enforcement drive.
Senior traffic police officers and officials from various traffic divisions were present during the event.
During the programme, Additional Commissioner of Police Manoj Patil appealed to citizens to continue using the PTP app and actively report traffic rule violations to help make Pune’s roads safer and more disciplined.
The event concluded with Deputy Commissioner of Police (Traffic) Himmat Jadhav congratulating the winners and thanking citizens for their participation in improving traffic management in Pune.
