Punjab to go hi-tech for checking traffic violations in state

Date:

CHANDIGARH, May 2: Even though Punjab’s cities are marked by traffic violations, a challenge for the understaffed police, by next year those violating traffic rules will not have any chance to convince the traffic cop on duty to let them off. This because the traffic police in the state is set to bring all key cities and highways under e-surveillance.

Sources said the project will cost Rs 30 crore and the traffic police hopes to utilize 50 per cent of the funds collected through traffic challans to fund it. Most of the cameras will have the option to pan, tilt and zoom, providing a live feed to the main police control room. A screen grab of a violation will be culled from this footage as photographic evidence.

The owner of the violating vehicles will be sent a challan under section 133 of the Motor Vehicle Act, 1988. If he fails to pay the challan amount on time, then it will be forwarded to the court concerned, which then issues summons to the accused, as per law.
