Recipient of Challan Doesn’t Own a Two Wheeler
According to media reports, a resident of Greater Noida found herself fined Rs 1,000 for riding a two-wheeler without a helmet. However, she was at her home when she received an e-challan indicating the violation. Upon checking the message, she discovered that the e-challan was issued for a vehicle registered in her name on June 27th at 8:29 am. The attached picture clearly showed a two-wheeler, which left the woman shocked and furious.
Flaws in the Digital Challan System
This incident sheds light on the flaws in the digital challan system, which wrongly identified the registration of the two-wheeler. As a result, the car owner is left dealing with the consequences of a violation she never committed. The fine requires her to visit the traffic control room in Noida, located 35 kilometers from her house, adding further inconvenience. Despite not breaking any traffic rules, she must now go through the ordeal of visiting the traffic police center. However, she has the option to reach out to the authorities either by visiting their office or sending an email to rectify this erroneous situation.
