    Srinagar, Mar 30: Scores of vehicle owners on Thursday alleged that they are receiving wrong e-challan of their vehicles and urged the authorities to look into the matter.

    Many vehicle owners told news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO) that they are getting incorrect e-challan for a violation they never committed. “Even some e-challans are being slapped on vehicles not present in the area,” they said.

    “I have received one such e-challan with Rs 1000 two days ago for my scooty,” said Dilawar Reshi, a resident of Malbagh area of the city.

    He said that his scooty has been challaned for not wearing a seat belt which is totally unfair and at the time this challan was issued, my scooty was parked in the courtyard of his home.

    Similarly, Sameer Ahmad, a Bandipora resident complained that a few weeks ago his two wheeler was blacklisted by the transport department for violating traffic rules at Papachan area.

    He said that the traffic violation was neither committed by him nor he passed through that area that time.

    Motorcycle owner, Afan Ahmad said that he has also received a similar e-challan stating that he had committed some traffic violations in Srinagar despite the fact that he was in his house at that time.

    To solve this problem, people are now demanding from the traffic police and transport department to make necessary improvements in the system and resolve this technical glitch.

    An official said that the wrong challan can be issued due to various reasons. “Tampering the number plates could make it harder for the system to read the number plate. Because of this, the system would read the number plate incorrectly and send the challan to the wrong person. Moreover, with damaged plates, worn-out plates or because of incorrect number plates, the challan could be sent to the wrong person,” he said.

    Regional Transport Officer, Kashmir Syed Shahnawaz Bukhari and IGP Traffic, Vikramjit Singh have assured that they will look into the matter—(KNO)

  • Goa introduces AI signals to tackle traffic woes, issue e-challans

    Goa introduces AI signals to tackle traffic woes, issue e-challans

    Panaji: The Goa government on Wednesday launched the first Artificial Intelligence signal at Merces Junction in North Goa, which is one of the busiest junctions in the coastal state.

    Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant, after launching AI signals, said: AI signals will not only help traffic management but will also be helpful for security purposes.

    “In future, along with traffic management, it will support the police from a security point of view. We can catch traffic law breakers and others through this system,” he added.

    The system is developed and implemented by Beltech AI.

    The system shall benefit traffic police to monitor the traffic, issue e-challans and shall benefit with assistance in security purposes.

    The Chief Minister said that the system has been employed on pilot basis at Merces junction on a PPP basis.

    “The government shall expand the scope of implementation on a PPP basis by collaborating with private investment,” he said.

    Sawant appealed to the people to follow traffic rules, which can reduce road accidents and deaths occurring due to it.

    Goa PWD Minister Nilesh Cabral said that this AI signal will monitor the movement of traffic from all sides.

    “It will detect the traffic and based on it signals will appear,” he said.

    He said that the government intends to install AI signals across Goa, so the entire mechanism functions well.

    According to officials, the AI can detect emergency vehicles such as ambulances and fire-trucks and automatically clears the road.

    The AI is designed in such a way that all the signals in the city and state constantly talk to each other, thus optimising traffic at not only junction level, but city and state level.

    AI can also detect vehicles which violate the traffic rules and make the road unsafe for everyone. E-challan is automatically raised to such offenders.
