From blinking red to steady green, Mumbai’s traffic police are set for a body-camera upgrade aimed at fixing one persistent problem: cameras dying mid-duty. With nearly 3000 traffic policemen deployed on city roads every day, the Mumbai Traffic Police are preparing to replace outdated body-worn cameras that often fail due to poor battery life. The upgrade is expected to improve accountability, transparency, and enforcement, with fewer chances of cameras shutting down while on duty.
