The Surat city police on Thursday launched a contactless on-the-spot traffic fine collection system. Under this system, the fine amount will be collected through electronic transfer to avoid physical exchange currency notes and payment receipts.
The cops will be provided with 50 handheld devices to collect fines. Cops of the rank assistant commissioners of police, police inspectors and sub-inspectors will be able to collect the fines for 51 offences in a contactless manner. Those who don’t want to pay through electronic mode, will be able to pay cash as well.
City police commissioner Ajay Tomar launched the new fine collection system on Thursday.
“We have launched the contactless on the spot fine collection in times of Covid-19. An individual will get a payment link on SMS to pay the fine,” said Tomar.
Meanwhile, Tomar also launched a mobile application for city cops seeking assistance for Covid-19 treatment.
“Not only guidance for treatment, but cops can get information of various ways to stay fit through this application. This is in addition to our existing Covid-19 monitoring program for cops,” said Tomar.
