Traffic laws

Amending its six-year-old e-challan policy rules, Mumbai traffic police has mandated the violators to pay fines in cash or card at the police chowkis. Reportedly, Mumbai alone owes a due of challans worth 280 crores, out of 602 crores in the state. "The recovery rate of fines were faster in the cash approach, as compared to the cashless or e-challans," said Superintendent Sunita Salunkhe.
