Beware: Hyd traffic Cops on a special drive!

Hyderabad Traffic Police have started a special drive to ensure the pending penalities of various traffic violations are paid. It is said that about 40 Lakh Challans are pending in the last four years and the Police have been recovering them only when they are caught red handed doing another traffic offence.

If these 40 Lakh challans are paid, it will be 50 Crores addition income to Government treasury. Hyderabad Police have decided to open a charge sheet on the vehicle owners which have five or more challans pending.

Before that, Police are planning to check every vehicle when parked in public places for challans and a sticker with pending challans details will be put on such vehicles. Vehicles with stickers will be given a month time to pay those pending challans. If they still fails to pay up, further action will be intiated.
