Jaipur traffic police issued 3,727 challans during a special enforcement drive against traffic violations, including 2,735 against vehicles parked in no-parking zones, as authorities moved to ease congestion on major city roads during the tourist season.
The drive was conducted across prominent roads in Jaipur on Sunday. Police said the action targeted violations that were obstructing traffic movement and causing inconvenience to commuters. Illegal parking was the largest category recorded during the campaign, accounting for more than two-thirds of the challans issued.
According to the traffic police, the arrival of tourists from different states had increased pressure on the city’s roads. Several motorists were found parking vehicles along busy stretches, reducing available road space and disrupting the movement of other vehicles. The enforcement action was intended to address these obstructions and improve traffic flow.
The campaign was conducted under the supervision of Additional Commissioner of Police (Traffic and Administration) Pradeep Mohan Sharma and Deputy Commissioner of Police (Traffic) Praveen Nayak Nunawat. Police Commissioner Sachin Mittal directed the enforcement action, the report said.
The scale of the drive highlights the operational challenge created when parked vehicles occupy road space on busy urban corridors. In Jaipur, where tourist movement adds seasonal pressure to major roads, parking violations can affect not only motorists but also public transport, pedestrians and access to commercial areas. The police, however, did not provide a road-wise breakdown of the challans or specify the value of penalties collected.
The 2,735 challans for no-parking violations were issued alongside 992 challans for other traffic-rule violations. The figures indicate that illegal parking was the principal focus of the campaign, although the available information does not identify the other categories of offences recorded.
Traffic police said the enforcement campaign would continue in the coming days. Further action is expected to remain focused on violations that contribute to congestion and obstruct movement on Jaipur’s major roads.
