Kathmandu – The Traffic Police Office of the Kathmandu Valley officially launched the Traffic Violation Record System (TVRS) and ‘E-Chalan’ (digital ticket) system on Sunday.
With this new system, drivers who violate traffic rules can now pay their fines through the Citizen App, as announced by Chief Deputy Inspector General Bharat Bahadur Bohara of the Kathmandu Valley Traffic Police Office.
The implementation of the ‘E-Chalan’ (digital ticket) system allows immediate issuance of digital tickets to traffic violators, enabling them to pay fines instantly through the Citizen App.
It is anticipated that this digital ticketing system will eliminate the hassles previously associated with paying traffic fines. In the first phase, the digital ticketing system has been rolled out in the districts of Kathmandu, Bhaktapur, and Lalitpur. Special devices have been provided to traffic police for issuing these digital tickets.
Additionally, a new arrangement has been made whereby drivers who pass the ‘trial’ for obtaining a driving license will not need to carry a physical license card.
Buddha Maherjan, the Minister of Labor, Employment, and Transport in Bagmati Province, mentioned that more than 2.2 million drivers who have not renewed or obtained new licenses will now be able to access their license numbers through the Citizen App, providing them with much-needed relief.
With this new system, drivers will no longer need to carry their driving permits; they can simply present their driving permits via the Citizen App. The app will display a QR code representing the driver’s permit.
How ‘E-Chalan’ Works
Traffic police will scan the QR code displayed on the mobile devices of traffic violators using the ‘E-Chalan’ digital app to record the details of the offense. Immediately, the Citizen App will show the details of the violation, including the offense and fine amount, along with options for payment.
This allows drivers to pay their fines instantly through a digital wallet.
“With the management of traffic police, a new technology-friendly method called ‘E-Chalan’ (digital ticket) has been initiated to record traffic violations,” said Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak during the launch event.
He noted that good governance is one of the government’s priorities, emphasizing that good governance involves providing services to all citizens and service seekers in a simple, accessible, transparent, and hassle-free manner.
Minister Lekhak stated that incorporating technology into service delivery has added a new dimension to governance, suggesting that making all governance-related services technology-friendly will simplify and enhance the delivery of services.
The launch event, held at the Traffic Police Office in Ramshah Path, was attended by dignitaries including Home Minister Lekhak, Deputy Inspector General Bharat Bahadur Bohara, Bagmati Province Minister for Labor, Employment, and Transport Prem Bhakt Maherjan, Minister for Physical Infrastructure and Transport Devendra Dahal, and Inspector General of Police Basanta Bahadur Kunwar, among others.
