TVIS dues: Chandigarh cops to visit offenders on doorstep

Tribune News Service

Chandigarh, July 15

City residents, who have been issued the traffic violation information slips (TVIS) or postal challans and have not paid the same, will be made to pay the fine as the UT traffic police have started visiting their houses to collect the fine.

Palak Goel, DSP Traffic (Administration), said to clear the pending challans, the traffic police would be visiting the offenders on their doorstep. “The fine will be collected through the e-challan machine only,” the DSP added.

Two teams of two members each have been constituted to visit the offenders. The police will be equipped with body cameras to record their visits.

The DSP said the police would visit the offenders within Chandigarh.

A TVIS challan is issued on the basis of violations caught on CCTV cameras installed at various light points in the city or pictures of violations sent by citizens to the police. A TVIS challan is sent on the registered address of the vehicle owner.
