Operating 24/7, the Division applies data-driven decision-making and sustainable management practices to uphold the highest safety, environmental, and security standards”.
In the first half of 2025, the Division disposed of 1,971 traffic-related offenses that include abandoned vehicle cases, improper disposal of waste, and improper use of land. Of these, 992 were cleared successfully and environmental response was 100% within 48 to 72 hours of report, with no critical incidents.
As far as strategic management of backlog cases is concerned, the total number of active cases as of the end of H1 stood at 651 cases (39.6% of the total). Three broad categories were formed to facilitate prioritized action: Category 1: Violations related to containers (287 cases), which is expected to be brought down by 50% in 90 days. Category 2: Unmarked trailers (198 cases), for which a fast-track system has been initiated. Category 3: Signage and infrastructure (166 cases), handled through a root cause audit-driven solution for sustainable outcomes.
Forwarding to the second half of 2025, the Control and Command Division has developed a strategic plan with four major thrusts, Intensive 90-day Clearance Campaign, which will cut the cases piled up by 50% through specialized task forces, speeded-up legal proceedings, and bi-weekly performance monitoring.
Second is Centralized Dashboard integration; in the consolidated operations center, to provide real-time oversight using live incident maps, coordinated response via automation, and immediate performance tracking. Third is Thorough Audit of Infrastructure and Digital Signage to chronicle gaps, correct shortcomings, and remediate repeated violation triggers. The final one is Development of Predictive Intelligence Infrastructure to set up an advanced database and test algorithms in readiness for proactive enforcement capacity by 2026.
