New Delhi: The Delhi Traffic Police has launched a special enforcement drive against illegal parking and roadside encroachments across key stretches of the capital, issuing 177 challans, clamping 18 vehicles and impounding 11 others.
The operation, conducted by the Eastern Range’s Motor Vehicle Cell (MVC) with the assistance of additional police personnel, covered areas including Vikas Marg, ISBT Anand Vihar, Mayur Vihar and Road No. 56B. Two cranes were deployed to remove vehicles parked in violation of traffic regulations.
The drive aimed to ease congestion, improve traffic flow and prevent public roads from being obstructed by illegally parked vehicles and roadside vendors.
During the enforcement drive, police issued 177 challans for traffic violations, clamped 18 vehicles and impounded 11 vehicles. The impounded vehicles included a bus and a tractor.
The team also removed 23 roadside carts and stalls that were obstructing traffic and pedestrian movement.
MVC personnel worked alongside additional police forces, using two cranes to remove vehicles parked in violation of the rules. Appropriate challan and prosecution proceedings were initiated in cases of traffic violations.
Busy stretches such as Vikas Marg and ISBT Anand Vihar frequently face the risk of congestion due to improper parking, roadside vending and encroachments.
Vehicles parked haphazardly and stalls occupying road space can restrict the movement of traffic and create difficulties for commuters and pedestrians.
The enforcement drive was intended to address these problems by removing obstructions and discouraging motorists from treating public roads as private parking spaces.
The operation was conducted under the supervision of Eastern Range DCP Shweta Chauhan. Traffic inspectors across the range have been working to maintain smooth traffic movement and ensure compliance with road regulations.
The police said the objective was not limited to issuing challans but also included reducing traffic pressure, preventing unnecessary delays and improving road safety.
Motorists have been urged to park only in designated areas, avoid obstructing public roads and follow traffic rules. The police emphasised that responsible road use is essential to reducing congestion and ensuring safer journeys for everyone.
