Dehradun police starts issuing e-challan for traffic violation
The e-challan scheme has been implemented in the capital. On Thursday, SSP Arun Mohan Joshi duly launched it by handing over an e-challan machine to traffic policemen. The traffic police first issued the fine to BJP leader. BJP leaders themselves approached the policemen for violating traffic rules and got a challan of hundred rupees. Drivers who violated traffic rules were e-challaned at the launch of the scheme started under the pilot project at Dilaram Chowk. The first challan was made by BJP leader Arun Kharbanda, resident of Kanvali Road. He himself approached the police to clear the challan and told the police that he did not have his number plate. A hundred rupees were e-challaned against the BJP leader. SSP Arun Mohan Joshi said that out of 136 e-challan machines received from the headquarters, 23 machines have been allocated to the CPU and traffic police. The rest is being sent to the police station. Also, people were informed about the e-challan machine.
All the information and validity of the vehicle (RC, insurance, permit, pollution) will be obtained as soon as the vehicle number is entered in the e-challan machines. This will make it clear how alert the driver is to the traffic rules. Also through these machines, the driver while driving the vehicle with the wrong number plate and forged driving license can be caught during the challan process. This can prevent crime such as forgery along with improving traffic system. SP Traffic Prakashchand said that through e-invoicing machines, one can pay invoices on the spot through Paytm, Google Pay, Phone Pay. CO Traffic Rakesh Deoli said that machines will help in taking effective action against traffic rules, vehicles committing other crimes, drivers. CPU in-charge Pradeep Kumar told that in the initial phase there will be manual challan along with e-challan in Dehradun.
