Panchkula Cracks Down on Rogue Parkers: Challan Count Soars
Panchkula’s traffic police have significantly tightened the noose on illegal parking, issuing a whopping 1,905 challans in the first half of 2025. This represents a substantial increase compared to the 1,276 challans issued during the same period last year.
The intensified enforcement drive is specifically targeting notorious traffic congestion hotspots across the city. The aim is clear: to instill better road discipline and enhance overall road safety.
This crackdown focuses on encouraging drivers to utilise only designated parking zones. The police hope this stricter approach will lead to smoother traffic flow and fewer accidents.
The sharp rise in challans underscores the growing problem of haphazard parking in Panchkula. The success of this initiative will be crucial in shaping the city’s traffic management strategy and setting a precedent for other urban areas grappling with similar challenges. The long-term impact on road safety and commuter convenience remains to be seen.
