Delhi Government Suspends New Traffic Challan System Amid Lawyers' Concerns
The Delhi government has paused the implementation of a new traffic challan system following protests by lawyers concerned about amended rules requiring a 50% deposit of the challan amount before court appeals. Transport Minister Pankaj Kumar Singh stated that the advocates' representation is under review by the Transport Department and will be brought to the attention of the Lieutenant Governor and Chief Minister. The decision came ahead of planned protests and aims to address concerns over shifting dispute resolution from courts to administrative authorities.
