Speaking on this occasion, the Lt. Governor lauded the efforts of Delhi Police and expressed pride in being associated with a force which is led by such competent officers.

He observed that besides ensuring maintenance of law and order in the city, Delhi Police was also in one way or the other associated with other challenges of the city.

The new mobile application is currently available on Android phones and can easily be downloaded from Google Play. It will be soon available on the App Store and Windows Phone Store.

The new Delhi Traffic Police application will enable the public to utilise e-services provided by Delhi Traffic Police, such as obtaining information about traffic alerts and advisories to plan the journeys accordingly, in advance.
