Nagpur: Are commuters in Nagpur becoming more disciplined on the roads, or is the drop in traffic violations the result of sustained enforcement by the police? Latest figures from the city Traffic Department indicate a significant decline in overall traffic offences this year, even as cases of drunken driving have registered a steep increase.
According to official data, the traffic police have booked an average of 2,387 violations per day till July 2026, compared to 3,252 daily cases during the corresponding period in 2025. This marks a reduction of nearly 865 cases every day, reflecting an overall decline of around 27% in enforcement actions.
In 2025, the department recorded 11.87 lakh traffic violations, averaging 3,252 cases a day. During the first seven months of 2026, the number stood at 5.06 lakh cases, indicating a noticeable drop across most categories of traffic offences.
Action against roadside parking violations has reduced from an average of 224 cases per day last year to 182 cases a day this year. Similarly, triple-seat riding and registration plate violations have also declined, with daily cases falling by around 20 and 24, respectively.
The most remarkable decline has been recorded in signal-jumping violations. Till July this year, the traffic police have registered only 6,633 cases, averaging 31 cases a day, against 48,286 cases in 2025, when the daily average stood at 132. This represents a reduction of about 101 cases every day.
However, the trend is sharply different in the case of drunk driving. While the traffic police booked 5,968 motorists for driving under the influence in 2025, an average of 16 cases a day, the number has already climbed to 7,248 cases by July this year, pushing the daily average to around 34, more than double last year’s figure.
Officials attribute part of the reduced enforcement activity to the department’s ongoing drive to recover pending traffic challans. Recently, the traffic police recovered nearly Rs 5 crore in unpaid challans, a move they believe serves as a strong deterrent against repeated violations.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (Traffic) Aditya Mirkhelkar said that recovery of pending challans remains one of the department’s primary objectives. At the same time, he indicated that enforcement against signal jumping and other traffic violations would be intensified in the coming weeks.
