With over 6,265 challans issued to motorists using 64 Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras installed in Anna Nagar, Chennai Traffic Police is ready for the next level — installing such cameras on arterial roads across the city.

After introducing cashless enforcement in 2018, the traffic police have been trying to implement contactless enforcement. As a pilot, 64 high-end cameras embedded with ANPR software were installed in Anna Nagar with assistance from Hyundai.
