Punjab has taken a significant step towards modernizing its traffic enforcement by introducing an advanced electronic challan system, similar to those in developed countries. This initiative aims to enhance traffic management and reduce pollution caused by vehicles.
Key Details of the New System
The new system focuses on the inspection of every smoke-emitting vehicle using state-of-the-art cameras. These cameras, installed as part of the Safe City project, will capture and record instances of vehicles emitting excessive smoke. The recorded images and videos will be used to issue electronic challans to the violators.
Efficient Enforcement of Traffic Laws
The issuance of electronic challans for traffic violations, including those for smoke-emitting vehicles, is now in full swing. The process involves capturing images and videos of the offending vehicles, which are then attached to the electronic tickets. This method ensures that the fines are backed by concrete evidence, making the enforcement process more transparent and effective.
State-Wide Implementation
This electronic challan system is set to be implemented across all cities in Punjab. By leveraging advanced technology, the government aims to ensure cleaner air and safer roads. The introduction of this system marks a significant milestone in Punjab’s efforts to adopt modern, efficient, and eco-friendly traffic enforcement methods.
The rollout of this advanced electronic challan system in Punjab is expected to bring about a significant improvement in traffic management and pollution control. By ensuring strict enforcement of traffic laws and targeting smoke-emitting vehicles, Punjab is paving the way for a cleaner and more efficient urban environment.
