Superintendent of Police Omprakash Meena introduced e-challan system to fine traffic violators on the spot and collect fine amounts through online by distributing hi-tech e-challan devices to the traffic police in the sub-divisions in the district.
The system would help the traffic police to fine the traffic violators and collect the fine amount on the spot with payment through ATM, Paytm, credit and debit cards. The system would allow the police to collect the fine amount online, instead of cash directly from the violators.
The government has given 13 e-challan devices to the district, he said adding while four machines were given to Ramanathapuram town police, nine were given to police in the sub-divisions. When traffic violators paid the fine online, giving details of the vehicle number, the device would display the previous violations if any.
If there were more than three violations, the police would recommend to the Regional Transport Office (RTO) to suspend the driving licence and seize the vehicles, the SP said.
The system would record all traffic violations and help to check accidents by taking action against repeated violators.
