Aim behind introducing e-challan in Chandigarh for traffic violators
As per the report, hand-held devices will be given to the Chandigarh traffic police personnel to issue e-ticket to the traffic violators. Each device will be connected to the Chandigarh RLA (Registration and licensing authority) and traffic police server. Previous offences will also be mentioned on the traffic ticket. It has also been reported that the state-level road safety committee besides introducing the e-challan system for the traffic violators, also pondered upon a system to award penalty points to the drivers.
The system will not only curb the traffic violation but will also assist in keeping a tab on pollution. Vehicle-testing centres in Chandigarh will be asked to upload customers’ data online to get the details about the vehicle. It is likely that the system will be connected to the state transport authority (STA) to strengthen the e-challan procedure in Chandigarh.
Vehicle density in Chandigarh the highest in India
With the highest vehicle density in the country, Chandigarh’s air quality has depleted in past few years. As per the report, an average family in Chandigarh owns more than two cars. Emissions from such a huge number of vehicles have worsened the air quality in the UT. Though the forest cover has increased in Chandigarh but it is not at par with the increasing number of vehicles in the city.
