In an attempt to curb traffic violation in the city, Jalandhar E-Challan System phase 1 was inaugurated by Punjab DGP Gaurav Yadav on Monday. In the first phase, CCTV cameras will be operationalise at 13 Chowks of Jalandhar. Hence, those caught on camera violation traffic norms will be issued E-Challan within 15 to 20 seconds.
With the start of E-Challan system, the city of Jalandhar 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 officer 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."
3 things that our cameras will essentially be monitoring are red light violations, overspeeding and wrong-side driving. For now we are trying to spread awareness. We are not making it totally strict for now but slowly after 2 to 3 weeks once awareness spreads, we will strictly operationalise it."
