The E-Challan system in Haryana uses the web of surveillance cams in the city. These cameras are placed across the traffic intersections. The cameras keep monitoring the traffic flow. If any traffic violations take place, the cameras capture the images of the vehicle. With the help of these images, the personal information of the vehicle owner is found. With the help of this information the violator can further be identified.
Vehicle owners link their personal details with their vehicle registration number. This linkage makes the information fetching easier. Haryana traffic police uses the information to notify the person about the violation.
The generated E-Challan is available on the E-Challan portal. The concerned offender can visit this portal or the traffic police website to pay the fine.
