“We have 410 Bajaj-Pulsar motorbikes which chase and prosecute for violations of traffic rules and regulations. They are always mobile and their presence has helped a lot in terms of streamlining traffic and catching offenders. So we have decided to fit them with flashers and blinkers,” Joint Commissioner of Police (Traffic) S.N. Srivastva told IANS.

“These flashers and blinkers are like beacon and have blue lights. These would be visible from a long distance,” he said.

The chase and ‘challan’ (prosecute) scheme was launched last year and so far police have fined 865,000 people.
