Delhi expressway gets India's first AI-powered smart traffic system
New Delhi: India unveiled its first Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS) project at Delhi's Dwarka Expressway on Wednesday. The project is aligned with the latest 2023 guidelines of the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) in a move towards smart and safer highways. The ATMS system, deployed on the Dwarka Expressway and a 28-km stretch of NH-48 from Shiv Murti to Kherki Daula, is transforming a key national corridor into a next-generation digital highway. The system was developed by IHMCL (Indian Highways Management Company Ltd) and implemented by NHAI. The project covers 56.46 kilometres and is being recognised as a national model for AI-based traffic governance and road safety. The Chief Product Officer of IHMCL, Amrit Singha, said that the ATMS has various components to catch violators of traffic laws, being able to detect things such as not having a seatbelt, triple riding, and overspeeding. "Various components of the ATMS project have been covered. The salient components are traffic monitoring cameras, the second is the video incident detection and enforcement all these, we are able to detect approximately 14 different types of incidents, including overspeeding, no seatbelt, and triple riding, so these are all challanable incidents as per the Motor Vehicle Act," Singha told in Delhi. While discussing road safety awareness, the IHMCL official added, "From the NHAI point of view, what we can do is we have various information dissemination programs. We also conduct a lot of programs related to road safety. So through ATMS, we also like to generate public and general awareness among the citizens, specifically road users, about road safety. We also see technology as an enabler for meeting road safety goals for the public." The system is also integrated with the NIC E-challan portal, which shares various traffic violation incidents with the proper police department. According to an official statement from NHAI, ATMS is 56.46 km long, with 28.46 km on the Dwarka Expressway and the rest on NH-48. Detailing 5 main components of the ATMS, the statement mentioned that there is a Traffic Monitoring Camera System (TMCS) with 110 high-resolution PTZ cameras placed at 1-km intervals with 24/ live monitoring; Video Incident Detection and Enforcement System (VIDES); Vehicle Actuated Speed Display System (VASD); Variable Message Signboards (VMS), and a Central Control Room. "The Command Centre acts as the digital brain of the corridor, integrating with local and national systems to enable quick deployment of emergency units during accidents, fog conditions, road obstructions, or animal intrusion. This data-driven management ensures shorter response times, fewer delays, and safer commutes," the statement read. The ATMS system is being recognised as a national model for AI-based traffic governance and road safety. (ANI)

Efforts on to rescue missing couple from MP: Meghalaya CM
Shillong, May 29 (UNI) Chief Minister Conrad Sangma on Thursday said efforts are on to rescue the missing newly-wed couple from Madhya Pradesh who disappeared during their honeymoon in Sohra, also known as Cherrapunjee, a popular tourist destination in Meghalaya. The Meghalaya police along with State Disaster Response Force and villagers have intensified their search and rescue operation for 27-year-old Raja Raghuvanshi and his wife Sonam from Indore who have been missing since May 24. 'We are hopeful that we will get positive results and we will be able to find the couple. I am personally monitoring the situation and we are trying our best to find the couple,' Sangma said in a video statement. Terming the disappearance of the couple as a 'very unfortunate situation', the Chief Minister said that he had spoken to his Madhya Pradesh counterpart Mohan Yadav and he had also received a call from Union Home Minister's office. 'I am personally monitoring the situation on a daily basis. The entire district administration (East Khasi Hills), the state police and the entire village community are on job to find out the couple,' he said. 'The search and rescue team is battling pre-monsoon showers, and the entire belt is known for heavy rainfall. But we are giving our best to ensure that we are able to find the couple,' the Chief Minister said, adding that the government was using latest technology to trace the newlywed. Police said the couple arrived at Mawlakhiat village from Shillong on a rented Scooty to visit the double-decker root bridge in Nongriat on May 22. They engaged a local guide and stayed overnight at Shipara Homestay. They checked out the next day at about 6 am and intended to return to Mawlakhiat. The couple then left their luggage at another homestay, Manha Homestay at a different location (Saitsohpen) as there was no vacancy and went out to look for accommodation elsewhere. But surprisingly they headed back to Nongriat without their luggage. On May 24, the Sordar of Sohrarim reported an abandoned Scooty. It was traced to the couple via E-challan and an FIR was filed by relatives. This is the second such incident in Meghalaya since April when a 41-year-old Hungarian tourist, Puskas Zsolt, was found dead near Ramdait village along the trail to Nongrait village , 12 days after he was reported missing . Police ruled out any foul play in the Zsolt's death and suspected he might have died after a fall. After that incident, the Meghalaya government issued an advisory for the safety of tourists. They were urged to exercise extreme caution near cliffs, jungles, and water bodies, and hire certified local guides. UNI RRK PRS

Delhi police uncover scam involving forged no entry permits for commercial vehicles
New Delhi: The Delhi Traffic Police unearthed a scam involving the sale and use of forged No Entry Permission stickers used by commercial vehicle owners to operate illegally during restricted hours. So far, two cases have come to light, resulting in the arrest of three individuals. According to officials, on May 15, sub-inspector Ritul and constable Phool Kanwar were on duty at ITO Chowk under the Kamla Market Traffic Circle. Around 9 p.m., they stopped a commercial vehicle entering DDU Marg from BSZ Marg during restricted hours. When the officers checked the No Entry Permission sticker on the vehicle's windshield using the E-challan system, they found no valid record. They further verified the suspicious pass with the issuing authority, DCP Traffic Headquarters, which confirmed it was forged. During the inquiry, the driver, identified as Dilip Kumar, a resident of Etah, revealed that the pass was purchased by the vehicle owner from an unknown individual at the Azadpur Fruit and Vegetable Market, said deputy commissioner of police (Traffic) Hukma Ram Sai. Following the initial investigation, the driver contacted Rajesh Kumar, the vehicle owner's brother, who admitted to obtaining the fake permit from a man named Tushar. A complaint was filed at the IP Estate Police Station, and a formal case was registered. During the investigation, Tushar was apprehended and confessed to obtaining the forged sticker from Sonu Kumar Mishra, a Burari resident who runs a cyber café in Indraprasth Colony. Both Rajesh and Sonu were arrested in connection with the case. In a similar incident on May 14, another commercial vehicle was found operating in the No Entry zone at ITO Chowk using a counterfeit pass. A case was registered, and investigations revealed that the driver, Muzzamil, had purchased the fake permit from an individual named Faizuddin. Muzzamil was subsequently arrested. Police said the investigation is ongoing, and more arrests may follow as authorities dig deeper into the network supplying these fake passes. Officials are also exploring whether similar forged permits have been used elsewhere in the city.
