The city's traffic personnel will soon knock on the doors of errant motorists who have been fined but did not pay up. The department will start the drive from December 15 as it stares at a huge backlog of nearly Rs 317 crore. Officials said motorists will be informed via the traffic department's call centre before its personnel reach their homes to collect the penalties. The department has formed 11 teams, each with two cops, for this collection operation.

The traffic police have already contacted 2,000 motorists about the cops' impending visits to their homes
