Delhi Local Police To Issue E-Challans For Traffic Violations

Delhi is planning to let more police officers enforce traffic rules.

Police officers working at local stations and other units will use a mobile e-challan app.

If they see a vehicle breaking a traffic rule, they can take a photograph.

They will upload the photograph and other details to the app.

The system will then process the information.
