Mohali Traffic police get body cams, marshal system launched

Mohali senior superintendent of police Kuldeep Singh Chahal said this after conducting a meeting with the volunteer traffic marshals at his office. “Traffic marshals will be very helpful in keeping a close watch on traffic officers as well as the people violating traffic rules. The traffic marshals will play an important role at drunk driving nakas and to control offenders. Help from traffic marshals will also be sought for night check posts so that only traffic violators could be challaned,” the SSP said.

He also said this was started as a pilot project for traffic police by fitting a body camera on the uniform of traffic police personnel. He said in the initial phase, the body cams have been given to traffic police officers in Mohlai and Zirakpur and it would be expanded in the future.
