The vehicles of 19 MLAs and 10 MPs have been caught by the Artificial Intelligence (AI)-enabled camera surveillance system installed to detect traffic violations, Transport Minister Antony Raju said after a review meeting here on Thursday.
Refuting the allegation that VIPs were being given special consideration by the Motor Vehicles Department (MVD), the Minister said one MP was caught for traffic violation six times and an MLA seven times.
As many as 328 government vehicles, including those of MLAs and MPs, had been detected for violations by the traffic surveillance system. The MLAs and MPs were caught for offences such as speeding and travelling without seatbelt, Mr. Raju said refusing to disclose their details. e-challans were issued for all traffic violators, he said.
