Delhi Traffic Challan

Delhi, one of the busiest cities of India, filled with vehicles, food carts, spice stalls, vibrant bazaars has always been in motion, road full of people and tourists all over the city. Due to its operational nature a lot of people get employed here which leads to overpopulation in the city. Then the overpopulation gradually leads to a greater number of vehicles, hence the accidents and incidents related to roads and driving.

Although the police department is working with great efforts by focusing on traffic rules for the safety of each and every individual, then too people seldom make mistakes of breaking these rules at their own risk. For proper implementation of laws and fines proposed for breaking them, Police is doing a wonderful job in this technology driven world by generating Challans online, also referred to as E-Challans, but it is yet to be understood and appreciated by people.

What is E-Challan?

E-Challan was introduced by Ministry of Road Transport and Highways of India. It is a Digital or electronic form of challan which is generated when an individual comes into conflict with the driving laws. E-Challan works in coordination with CCTV cameras, installed across the country to catch the lawbreaker.
