Traffic is part of our life now. We are used to facing traffic whether one owns a vehicle or not. Not only this, now we have become habitual to the traffic signals, traffic police, the rules, and regulations while driving. Even the children are taught in early schooling that what are the basic and key rules and regulations while walking on the street or crossing the street. All this has made the job of traffic police complicated and difficult. Hence, E-Challan came into being. E-Challan is the electronic challan that is generated with the help of cameras installed on the streets that captures the traffic disrupter and catches the defaulter with much ease as compared to traffic police themselves. E-Challan is easy to issue and pay as well. The defaulters can pay online with the help of a website and check the status of their Challan with the same. Let us know more about the E-Challan status check and payment in Telangana.
