Deputy commissioner of police Hansraj told Free Press e-challans were generated with the Bhopal smart city's intelligent transit management system (ITMS) and police-run city surveillance system. The challans are related to the red light jumping, triple riding, helmet violation and rash driving, he added.
The traffic lawbreakers who fail to pay the amount by Juky 10 will have to face punitive action. And, the people who fail†to pay the penalty by July 10, their cases will be presented before the Lok Adalat scheduled for August 13.
Every month more than 11,000 challans are prepared and sent to traffic violators and among them around 40 per cent have deposited the penalty amount and the rest are taking it casually, said the officer.
First a notice is given, then a summons and then a warrant is issued, people should not take the challan casually as it will lead to serious problems, he added.
