Maharashtra Transporters Seek E-Challan Solutions From Traffic Officials
Transport groups in Maharashtra met traffic police officials.
They wanted to talk about problems with the e-challan system.
An e-challan is a digital traffic fine.
The groups said some fines may be based on still photographs.
They also said it can be difficult to challenge fines they believe are wrong.
Different kinds of transporters joined the meeting.
The transporters asked for clearer and more technology-based enforcement.
The meeting was described as friendly, and the group hopes the problems will be solved soon.
