Chandigarh experienced a significant decline in traffic challans, dropping from 8.50 lakh in 2024 to 6.56 lakh in 2025, a reduction of nearly 23%. This shift coincided with a 53% decrease in complaints against traffic police, attributed to the transition towards e-challaning and reduced human interaction. The e-challan system has streamlined enforcement and improved transparency, leading to fewer confrontations between motorists and police personnel. Despite the drop in challans, revenue from traffic violations rose from ₹15.47 crore in 2024 to ₹21.24 crore in 2025, indicating a focus on compliance rather than solely revenue generation. Early 2026 data suggests a renewed uptick in enforcement, with traffic personnel returning to key areas and manual challaning increasing alongside digital systems. To further enhance accountability, the Chandigarh Traffic Police has procured 100 body-worn cameras for officers, aiming to document interactions and improve transparency in the enforcement process.
