Chandigarh to Launch Automated Commercial Vehicle Testing Station by August

Chandigarh is set to replace manual commercial vehicle inspections with an automated testing station (ATS) at Raipur Kalan, expected to be operational by August. The ATS will use sensor-based systems to assess brake efficiency, suspension, steering alignment, and emissions, aiming to improve transparency, accuracy, and reduce corruption. Currently, around 30,000 commercial vehicles undergo manual checks at Manimajra. Additionally, a regional driving training centre is planned at Raipur Kalan to train instructors and assess drivers.
