Faster e-challans & fine payment over traffic violations in offing
Ranchi: The traffic department is all set to expedite the process of issuing challans and making payments faster in connection with traffic violations in Ranchi city. Moreover, a string of other measures are in the offing and will be implemented soon to smoothen traffic movement.
While reviewing the traffic system of Ranchi recently, Inspector General (IG) Manoj Koushik instructed that challans issued to traffic violators should not take too long to be issued and must be dealt with on the next day of the rule violation itself.
In view of the large number of traffic violations happening every day, he also directed that the unit vetting the e-challans generated out of CCTVs should be activated.
He said that the assessment of the number of personnel required for the task should be determined at the earliest. IG Koushik also discussed methods to simplify fine payment with UPI being considered one of the modes.
It may be stated that there are around 600 CCTVs across Ranchi city which are used to detect vehicles violating traffic norms and also generate e-challans.
While talking on the issue, the IG further said, "The aim of the measure is not to punish people but to deter them from violating traffic norms in the future.

I have also instructed the traffic department to carry out at least one traffic awareness programme every week. In Indore, there is a dedicated team which usually carries out two awareness programmes everyday." He added the repeat offenders would, however, face serious consequences.
The IG also asked police to avoid manual traffic management as far as possible. He stated that traffic lights at inappropriate places should also be relocated.
A plan is under way to improve road engineering of various pathways in the city, he added.
Following the IG's instructions, traffic SP Kailash Karmali held a meeting with officials and representatives of the auto rickshaw association on road safety and security of women in passenger vehicles. He also stated auto rickshaw drivers should have a dress code and name plates. He added that traffic police would be stationed at bus stands, railway stations and airport from 7 pm to 11 pm.

HC orders action against 2 judges for letting accused go undefended in court
1 2 Kolkata: Calcutta High Court's Jalpaiguri circuit bench on Wednesday directed action against two judges — the chief judicial magistrate and the district and sessions judge (NDPS), Alipurduar — for not providing an advocate from legal aid to an accused in a drug case at the time of court production. Granting bail, Justice Krishna Rao held that the arresting officer violated Article 22 (1) of the Constitution by not informing the accused of the grounds for arrest. It is a fundamental right that an accused cannot be detained in custody without being informed of this. In ordering action against the two judicial officers, the court noted that a written complaint was made after the arrest on March 28, 2024, and after the initiation of the FIR, a case diary was started. The forwarding report submitted before the NDPS court was not served to the accused. At the time of production before the court on March 29, 2024, no advocate was provided and the court granted three days of police remand. After three days, the accused was produced before the NDPS court judge on April 1, 2024. He was taken into judicial custody, but the judge did not provide any advocate from legal aid to defend him. "This order be forwarded to the registrar general of the high court for information of the hon'ble Chief Justice and necessary action against the chief judicial magistrate and district and sessions judge (NDPS), Alipurduar for not offering an advocate from legal aid to the petitioner as at the time of production, the petitioner was undefended," the judge directed. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo It was noted that even though it was mentioned in the written complaint, case diary and forwarding report that the grounds for arrest were explained, the state did not disclose any document or evidence proving the same.
