Kerala's Minister launches Citizen Sentinel app for reporting traffic violations, with photos and videos sent to MVD for verification.
Kerala‘s Minister for Transport K.B. Ganesh Kumar launched Citizen Sentinel, an app using which members of the public can upload photographs and videos of traffic rule violations in the NextGen mParivahan app, here on Friday (October 18, 2024).
Photos and videos of up to 8 MB of any rule violation can be uploaded in the app, following which Motor Vehicles department (MVD) officials will verify these. Subsequently, e-challans would be sent to the vehicle owner, MVD sources said.
The app is ready for use, while challans to violators will be sent shortly. It can be downloaded from Google Play Store and will have built-in links to share videos and photographs with the MVD control room concerned.
The app was developed by the National Informatics Centre (NIC) and is part of the 100-day action plan of the Government of Kerala.
