## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF ROAD TRANSPORT AND HIGHWAYS

## (SHRI NITIN JAIRAM GADKARI)

- (a)     The details of number of traffic violation cases registered under Motor Vehicle Act, 1988 and the amount of penalty recovered therein in the country during the last three years and the current year, Statewise is attached at Annexure - I.
- (b)  to  (e)  The  Motor  Vehicles  (Amendment)  Act,  2019  as  stands implemented provides for strict penalties for ensuring compliance and enhancing deterrence for violation of traffic rules and strict enforcement  through  use  of  technology.  Traffic  management  and enforcement  is  essentially  in  the  domain  of  State  Governments/UT Administrations. While Central Government formulates rules under the Motor Vehicle Act, 1988, the enforcement of these rules comes under the purview of State Governments/UT Administrations.

The Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) on electronic monitoring and enforcement  has  been  issued,  duly  vetted  by  the  Supreme  Court Committee  on  Road  Safety  (SCCoRS),  on  28.10.2025  and  concurrent amendments were made to Rules 167 and 167A of the Central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989. Further, technology-driven enforcement through deployment of Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras integrated with the VAHAN database is being promoted.

Besides sensitizing the States/UTs, the Sadak Suraksha Abhiyan has been launched through Central Bureau of Communication to generate awareness on road safety matters.
