Furthermore, the police claimed to have educated one million people about minor traffic offences. It is an enormous amount, and it demonstrates that the traffic police are attempting to teach and instruct the general public regarding traffic.

The goal of a challan, according to Chief Traffic Officer Muntazir Mehdi, is not to generate income. “Rather, it is for the citizens’ wellbeing,” he stated. Mehdi advised people to drive safely and observe traffic rules.
