E-challan is a revolutionary system that has surely transformed traffic management in India. It works by using CCTV cameras on roads and highways, capturing any violations of traffic laws such as speeding or jumping red lights automatically. This footage helps enforcement officers detect any violations even if they are not present at the scene.

The e-challan app is then used by the officer to enter details of the violation - taking pictures, if necessary.

This ensures that all motorists follow traffic rules even when police officers are not around.
