If people follow them, the roads become safer and we can concentrate more on regulation rather than enforcement,” he added. “Traffic rules are for the safety of the people. “We are moving away from spot-fining traffic violations to contact-less enforcement,” said Additional Commissioner Arun. At present, there are around 20,000 CCTV cameras installed across the city in nearly 336 roads, with more installations planned in the future with the aim of having a CCTV camera for every 50 metres. People can also see the status of their complaints through the app. Till date, more than 2,000 complaints have been registered through this app and more than 2,000 offences have been reported, of which 500 are being processed.

Cases can also be booked on vehicles from other states and details of cases booked in other states can be accessed using the system. Police officers can also request the RTOs for suspension of drivers’ licences. If traffic violators fail to pay penalties, they will be denied access to services such as fitness certificates or name transfers.

Once the vehicle registration number and driver’s licence details are entered in the e-challan system, the name of the vehicle owner, their photograph and the status of the driver's licence will be visible to the traffic police. Vahan is an online vehicle registration system and Sarathi contains details of the driver’s licence. This e-challan system has been integrated with all the RTOs using the Vahan and Sarathi online systems. Card payment of spot fines has also been integrated with this e-challan system and senior officials can monitor cases being registered through the system in real time. About 352 gadgets to generate e-challans have been developed by the National Informatics Centre (NIC), New Delhi, for the Chennai City Traffic Police. The Raza Academy, which describes itself as a Sunni Barelvi organization of Indian Sunni Muslims, tweeted that. This happened in the context of using a Quran verse in an advertisement for Navarasa. Since June, the city traffic police have been using the 'electronic challan system' for spot-fining traffic violators.
