New Delhi: Delhi Traffic Police has launched a dedicated Mobile Traffic Unit (MTU) on a pilot basis in three ranges for enforcement and police visibility on busy stretches.The unit will initially operate on two identified stretches in each range. In the central range, these include the Delhi University and ISBT Kashmere Gate areas, while Bhagwan Mahavir Marg and the Azadpur Mandi area have been selected in the northern range. NH 24 and Vikas Marg in the eastern range have also been identified for the pilot.Unlike a static deployment, traffic personnel under MTU will keep moving along the identified stretches, responding to congestion and disruptions as they arise and intervening in violations affecting traffic flow.Officials said the unit will focus particularly on violations such as improper parking, which can slow down traffic. With continuous patrolling of the stretches, such violations can be addressed before they escalate into larger congestion points.The unit will also regulate traffic at critical locations, assist during peak hours and support traffic management during special situations. The mobile deployment is aimed at ensuring that personnel can reach trouble spots rather than remain stationed at a single point.Traffic Police said the pilot is also intended to improve visibility and responsiveness. Regular movement of traffic personnel and vehicles on the selected stretches is expected to increase police presence and reinforce compliance with traffic rules.Officials said the initiative combines mobility with enforcement and regulation, allowing traffic-related problems to be addressed at the location and time they occur. The performance of the pilot will help determine its further expansion across other busy stretches.
