Since the new administration entered office, hyderabad has experienced a notable increase in traffic challans, with 8.3 lakh challans issued in the city. Cars were fined a total of Rs 8,59,20,025 between december 1, 2023, and february 22, 2024. The volume of traffic infractions in hyderabad is demonstrated by the 6.15 lakh pending instances of challans during this time, according to RTI statistics.
 
Nonetheless, with Rs 3.8 crore paid in the same period, there has been progress in paying down the outstanding fines.
 
The majority of the complaints included two-wheelers; 5.90 lakh instances total, with penalties of Rs 17.59 crore, were registered in this category. In spite of this, 4.49 lakh cases are still outstanding after just 1.41 lakh cases paid the Rs 2.10 crore challan money.
 
Similarly, with 60,337 instances and 1.82 lakh cases registered, respectively, three-wheelers and four-wheelers also faced substantial fines. The significant number of ongoing cases, however, continues to highlight the difficulties with enforcement and compliance.
 
Kareem Ansari, an RTI activist, expressed alarm about the rising number of outstanding challenges, especially related to two-wheelers. He emphasized the necessity of appropriate government action to resolve problems with traffic management and guarantee adherence to traffic laws.
 
Ansari filed an RTI request in an effort to learn more about the pattern of traffic tickets that followed the government transition. He pointed out that harsher enforcement of challans was implemented under the previous government, suggesting a possible change in enforcement objectives.
 
The response from the office of the Commissioner of police in hyderabad included thorough information on the challans issued and cases that are still outstanding, illuminating the scope of traffic infractions in the city.
