Delhi Expands Traffic Challan Enforcement and Considers New Resolution Authorities
Delhi is introducing measures to improve traffic challan enforcement and resolution. Local police personnel will soon use a mobile e-challan app to independently issue fines for traffic violations, expanding enforcement beyond the Traffic Police. Additionally, the government is considering authorizing around 700 officials, including sub-divisional magistrates and tehsildars, to dispose of pending traffic challans, aiming to reduce a backlog of over four crore cases and ease the burden on courts. These steps seek to enhance traffic management and streamline challan processing in the capital.
