New Delhi, April 2 – Delhi Lieutenant Governor (L-G) Taranjit Singh Sandhu reviewed mobility and digital traffic management issues with senior officials on Thursday, emphasizing the need to scale up the use of AI and community participation to create congestion-free roads.
During his interaction with Delhi Traffic Police personnel, the L-G highlighted their critical role in positioning the city as a global hub for investment and tourism – seamless mobility, a statement said.
In a post on the social media platform X, L-G Sandhu said, "A productive session at the Todapur facility of @dtptraffic today. Reviewed the progress of the Digital Enforcement framework and emphasized scaling up Artificial Intelligence for 24/7 transparent monitoring and scientific management of peak-hour traffic."
"Traffic jams not only waste time and fuel but also worsen pollution. Emphasized greater on-ground visibility of the traffic police, especially at congestion hotspots, to ensure smoother flow and act as a deterrent," he noted.
"Highlighted the critical role of the Delhi Traffic Police in positioning Delhi as a global hub for investment and tourism – seamless mobility is key to competitiveness. Emphasized traffic management as a shared responsibility: Resident Welfare Associations as key partners in local traffic & parking solutions and Youth engagement for tech-driven, practical inputs," the L-G said.
He noted that he also reiterated the commitment to transforming Delhi's mobility through advanced technology and active community participation for a smarter and safer national capital.
