India's overcrowded and bustling streets make it very difficult for authorities to impose traffic regulations.

But New Delhi's police have come up with a novel solution for tracking violations.

Photos and video of violators taken by either police or normal bystanders are being posted on a special Facebook page to help hold them accountable.

Al Jazeera's Prerna Suri reports from New Delhi, India's capital.

Avatar, was it? I never saw it.

What a great initiative. maybe MOI can set up a "shop-a-criminal" page too. I'm sure Scotiabank will be first on there ;o)
