E-system to detect vehicle Act violators | – Times of India
Patna: The state govt has taken an important step against violators of the Motor Vehicles Act.
Vehicle owners of the state without valid insurance, fitness and pollution certificate, will now receive e-challan on their cellphone number through e-detection system, which has been installed at all toll plazas across the state.
Transport secretary Sanjay Kumar Agarwal said e-detection system has been started at all toll plazas of the state, which will check vehicles and automatically issue e-challan in the absence of required documents.At present, e-challan is issued if the vehicle fails in fitness, insurance or pollution tests. As a trial, e-challan has been issued to more than 5,000 vehicles at toll plazas in two days.
Agarwal said that most of the deaths in road accidents in the state occur on the National Highways. “To curb the accidents, it is necessary vehicles have fitness, permit, insurance, motor vehicle tax updated. The introduction of e-detection system will help drivers to follow the rules of the MV Act and reduce road accidents,” he said.
The secretary said when the vehicles pass through NH toll plazas and come in contact with Fastag, all the data related to the vehicle, including the photograph, will be included in the software. “After this, the data will be matched with the information available on the vehicle portal of the NIC. Through which, updated information about the registration, fitness, insurance, pollution control certificate of the vehicle concerned will be procured. If any deficiency is found, e-challan will be issued to the vehicle owners,” Agarwal said.
