Suggestions Given to SP Kota for Improvements in E-Challan System
Human Relief Society Secretary Akhtar Khan Akela raised issues of pending challans, speed limit boards, and traffic irregularities
Kota, Akhtar Khan Akela, Advocate and General Secretary of the Human Relief Society, has submitted detailed suggestions to Kota City Superintendent of Police Tejaswini Gautam for improving the vehicle e-challan system and ensuring accountability within the traffic department.
He pointed out that, despite the government’s decision to settle all pending challans issued before 2024 through the Permanent Lok Adalat, many such challans remain marked as pending on the Kota Traffic Police website. According to him, the court’s disposal list has already been sent to the traffic police, but the responsible staff have not updated the records online. As a result, vehicle owners — even from distant areas — are forced to travel to Kota to clear these pendencies, which should have been removed automatically. Akela expressed concern over the possible motives behind this delay and the inconvenience caused to citizens.
He also emphasised the need for clear display of speed limit boards across different roads in Kota, in line with the District Magistrate’s notifications. The absence of such signage, he said, often leads to confusion among drivers and subsequent issuance of speed violation challans. He suggested that once an e-challan is issued, an official message from an authorised police app should be sent immediately to the registered mobile number of the vehicle owner, mentioning the fine amount and last date of payment. This, he noted, would prevent cyber fraud and ensure timely payment.
Akela further highlighted delays in challan status updates, noting that in many cases the status shows as “presented in court” even when the challan has not reached the court. He suggested close monitoring of this process to prevent irregularities.
Additionally, he raised concerns about traffic signage being obscured by large greetings and congratulatory banners, often put up by politically influential individuals. He called for strict action against such obstructions, along with measures to address potholes, roadside encroachments, haphazard parking, and the disorderly operation of e-rickshaws, auto-rickshaws, and private buses violating permit rules. He also flagged the use of private buses for unauthorised courier services and the presence of illegal roadside advertisements that distract drivers.
For overall law and order, Akela urged strengthening of the police beat system, review of CLG (Community Liaison Group) members to remove those with criminal backgrounds or vested interests, and restrictions on unauthorised public felicitations of police personnel that could mislead the public.
Akhtar Khan Akela concluded that timely and systematic reforms in these areas would not only improve the traffic management system in Kota but also enhance public trust in the police.
