40 traffic signals with Red Light Violation Detection & Automatic Number Plate Recognition cameras to go live through the command and control room by May-end in Nashik city
command and control room
by the end of May.
All these high-tech cameras are integrated with the command and control room of the smart city corporation, located at the Panchavati divisional building of the Nashik Municipal Corporation (NMC).
Sumant More, the CEO of Nashik Municipal Smart City Development Corporation Ltd (NMSCDCL), told TOI they have started testing the RLVD and ANPR cameras at seven junctions — including Central Bus Stand, Trimbak Naka, Meher Signal, Canada Corner, Sharanpur Road, Gangapur Naka and Dream Castle on Makhmalabad Road — in the first phase.
During the testing, it was found that more than 7 lakh vehicles crossed the traffic signals at seven locations over six days between April 19 and 24. Of them, around 50,000 jumped signals when they were red. Some vehicles violated the signals twice, thrice or more. "The history of the vehicles regarding the violations of the red signals can also be seen through the command and control room," More said.

The Smart City corporation is planning to make CCTVs at all 40 traffic signals live through the command and control room in May, he added. NMSCDCL urged the Nashik Municipal Corporation to paint zebra crossings at these 40 traffic signals at the earliest so that the RLVD and ANPR cameras can be made operational next month. They need the marking of the zebra line from the NMC administration. Once it is done, the cameras can go live, added More.
Moreover, the online challans will be sent directly to the red signal violators through the command and control room. NMSCDCL also provided training to the NMC and police personnel to enable them to operate the command and control room. The installation of RLVD and ANPR cameras at the 40 traffic signals is part of the CCTV project, under which a total of 1,300 CCTV cameras are installed at around 350 locations across the city. They are integrated with the civic body's command and control room.

Tata Motors Emerges Lowest Bidder For NMC's Articulated E-Bus Project
Nagpur: The Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) on Tuesday finalised as the lowest bidder for its flagship project to launch 25 articulated electric buses along the Inner Ring Road. This marks a key step in realising Union transport minister and city MP 's vision to modernise Nagpur's public transport. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Tata Motors quoted a rate of Rs62.50 per km for operations and maintenance over a 10-year period, while a Nagpur-based firm quoted Rs2 higher. According to senior NMC officials, the civic body will now initiate further negotiations to try and reduce the cost before awarding the final contract. The rates are expected to be finalised by July 14, as municipal commissioner Abhijeet Chaudhari will hold a negotiations meeting. The 18-metre-long, air-conditioned articulated buses, each with a seating capacity of 55, will exclusively serve high-density routes across the Inner Ring Road. These e-buses are designed for speed, comfort, and low emissions, and are expected to decongest major corridors while improving commuter convenience. The Centre has sanctioned Rs152 crore under an electric mobility scheme to cover bus procurement and infrastructure development. Eight flash-charging stations will be installed at locations such as Sawarkar Layout, Kapil Nagar, Trimurti Nagar, and Besa substation. Each site will support bidirectional charging to ensure seamless turnaround. A 'mother depot' is also proposed for fleet maintenance, charging, and centralised operations. The total project cost, including infrastructure and 10-year operational expenses, is pegged at Rs250 crore. These new buses will be integrated into the existing Aapli Bus fleet of 539 vehicles.

CAQM defers fuel ban for end-of-life vehicles in Delhi-NCR to Nov
The Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) has decided to extend the timeline for enforcing a key provision of its statutory direction, which mandates denial of fuel and legal action against End-of-Life (EoL) vehicles in the National Capital Territory (NCT) of Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR). Following its 24th full Commission meeting held on Monday, CAQM announced that enforcement will now begin on November 1, 2025, in Delhi and five high vehicle density districts of Gurugram, Faridabad, Ghaziabad, Gautam Budh Nagar, and Sonipat. The remainder of the NCR will see implementation from April 1, 2026. The amendment was driven by the Government of NCT Delhi (GNCTD)'s concerns about the operational readiness of the Automated Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) system — a key tool for detecting EoL vehicles at fuel stations. According to a July 3 2025 letter from GNCTD, the system currently suffers from a range of issues, including technological glitches, poor camera placement, and sensor malfunctions. It was also noted that the system has not been fully integrated with neighbouring NCR states' databases, making it difficult to identify vehicles with incomplete or missing High Security Registration Plates (HSRP). GNCTD flags legal, operational concerns GNCTD officials had argued that enforcing a fuel ban solely within Delhi would be counterproductive and legally problematic, especially when the same vehicles remain roadworthy in neighbouring jurisdictions. They cautioned that such selective implementation could drive illegal fuel purchases from adjacent districts, thereby undermining the policy's effectiveness and fostering a black market. Citing Section 59 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, GNCTD's Chief Secretary warned against defining EoL status based purely on vehicle age, without considering actual emission levels, usage, or mechanical condition. Unified roll-out across NCR To address these concerns, CAQM decided to adopt a staggered enforcement strategy. 'All EoL vehicles identified through the ANPR cameras or other such systems installed at the fuel pump stations shall be denied fueling,' the Commission said, adding that the roll-out will occur in two phases — November 2025 for Delhi and key NCR districts, and April 2026 for the rest of the region. This approach is intended to provide authorities with additional time to strengthen the ANPR system, standardise enforcement protocols across jurisdictions, and ensure all stakeholders — including fuel stations — are adequately prepared. The Transport Departments of NCR states and GNCTD have been directed to expedite the trial and training for the ANPR system, ensure timely manpower deployment, and report monthly progress to the Commission. They are also required to raise awareness among stakeholders and strictly enforce the revised timelines. CAQM emphasised that EoL vehicles, once identified, must face appropriate legal action — including impounding — regardless of whether they are caught via ANPR systems, manual checks, or any other mechanism.

Relief for Delhiites: Fuel ban for old vehicles on hold till November 1
The Centre's panel on air quality in Delhi-NCR on Tuesday decided to put on hold the implementation of the fuel ban on end-of-life (EOL), or overage vehicles, in the national capital until November 1, sources said. EOL vehicles are diesel vehicles older than 10 years and petrol vehicles older than 15 years. According to directions issued earlier, such vehicles are not to be given fuel in Delhi from July 1 irrespective of the states they are registered in. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villas For Sale in Dubai Might Surprise You Dubai villas | search ads Get Deals Undo Delhi environment minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa last week requested the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) to withhold action against such vehicles, calling the move "premature and potentially counterproductive", citing "operational and infrastructural challenges". Sources said the CAQM, at a review meeting, decided to put on hold the implementation of the directions in Delhi. Live Events The drive in Delhi will be launched along with five high-vehicle-density districts adjoining the national capital, including Gurugram, Faridabad, Ghaziabad, Gautam Budh Nagar and Sonipat, from November 1 this year, the sources said. Fuel stations in Delhi have installed Automated Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras to detect EOL vehicles. If a vehicle is found to be EOL, the system alerts the fuel station staff not to refuel it. The violation is recorded and sent to enforcement agencies, who are then required to take action such as impounding and scrapping the vehicle. However, public discontent and outcry prompted the Delhi government to request the CAQM to halt the implementation of the move. The installation of ANPR cameras in the five high-density districts is to be completed by October 31.
