Jalandhar E-Challan went live on Monday. Punjab DGP Gaurav Yadav on Monday inaugurated the first phase of the Intelligent Traffic Management System (ITMS) in Jalandhar.
Accompanied by Jalandhar CP Dhanpreet Kaur, Deputy Commissioner Dr. Himanshu Aggarwal, and Municipal Commissioner Sandeep Rishi, the DGP said that after SAS Nagar (Mohali), Jalandhar has become the second city in Punjab to operationalize this state-of-the-art system.
In the first phase, E-Challan system has been operationalised at 13 chowks of Jalandhar. The city will now be monitored in real time through the Integrated Command and Control Center (ICCC). Giving details, IPS Vineet stated that the Integrated Command and Control Center will operate 24 hours a day. He further stated that traffic violators will get E-Challan within 15-20 seconds.
IPS Vineet said, "Punjab DGP Gaurav Yadav inaugurated Intelligence Traffic Management System in Jalandhar. We also showcased a demo of the system to Punjab DGP and CP Dhanpreet Kaur. We have installed Visual Display Board at 30 locations of the city. We are making people aware that you all are under CCTV surveillance and if you violate traffic you can issued E-Challan. Many people complain that traffic police does not behave properly especially the Interpersonal Communication thing, so it is a step to minimize such incidents with transparency."
"DGP Sir has functionalised 13 Chowks of Jalandhar. Chowks like PAP Chowk, Guru Nanak Mission Chowk, Sri Ambedkar Chowk, Workshop Chowk, etc have been functionalised," said IPS officer Vineet.
