KATHUA JANUARY 20:

Continuing with its campaign against the defaulters of Road Traffic Rules, team of Motor Vehicles Department (MVD) led by RTO Dr. Raj K. Thapa realized a fine of Rs 5.24 Lakhs from the violators of Road traffic discipline in Kathua.

The team of ARTO Kathua checked 255 vehicles on the National Highway and other roads of Kathua and imposed on-spot fine on 163 vehicles; while 16 others were challaned.  Some of the vehicles, out of 163, were fined through e-Challan that has been launched recently by the department.

e-Challan is a web based compounding/ challaning system wherein it’s not only convenient to maintain and retrieve the records but also easy to spot repeat offenders.
