Delhi to Implement Fully Digital, Time-Bound Traffic Challan System

The Delhi government, led by Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, will implement amended Central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989, introducing a fully digital and time-bound traffic challan system to enhance road safety and transparency. Violators must resolve challans within specified periods through an online portal before approaching courts. Repeat offenders with five or more violations annually may face license suspension or disqualification. Challans will be issued physically or electronically, with automated generation via surveillance systems and delivery through mobile notifications and physical notices.
