Hyderabad Traffic Joint Commissioner of Police AV Ranganath stated that there were no plans to extend the traffic challan discount beyond March 31 despite the massive discount offer to clear pending traffic challans had garnered a positive response.
Issues such as filing charge sheets on traffic violation cases in time apart from charge sheets against top violators (more than 50 violations) were discussed at a meeting here, with officials being asked to ensure that the challan history of violators is mentioned when filing charge sheets in order to secure the conviction.
Officials were also briefed on how to enforce the removal of car stickers, the cleaning of abandoned vehicles on roadways, irregular number plates, and silencers.
