Delhi Police Commissioner ordered traffic deputy commissioners to conduct foot patrols across their jurisdictions this weekend, emphasizing visible enforcement and encroachment removal.
The directive requires senior traffic officers to walk congested markets and intersection clusters rather than relying solely on vehicle-based monitoring.
Officials said the move responds to public complaints about illegal parking, vendor spillovers and signal jumping in commercial districts.
Rank-and-file personnel received updated beat assignments pairing foot patrols with quick-reaction teams for peak evening hours.
Civil society groups welcomed the initiative but asked for published metrics on citations issued and obstructions cleared after each weekend shift.
