​Bid to tackle traffic violation norms in far-flung areas

NEW DELHI: Soon, a local traffic constable or a transport department employee in a remote area can get details of your vehicle and violations simply by sending an SMS to a central server.

In a bid to strengthen surveillance, these officials will be mandated to send unlimited SMSes in a day and receive replies by paying a monthly charge of only Rs 5.

A senior road transport and highways ministry official said that modalities are being worked out who would make payment to the vendor to manage the services. Sources said it can be the Centre or state government concerned or the law enforcing agency itself.

The National Informatics Centre (NIC) has already developed a central database portal linking to all regional transport offices across the country. An NIC official said that the vendor for this service has been finalized, and the monthly charge for this service has also been fixed.

"Enforcement agencies have to get the mobile phone number of their employees registered with the regional NIC office to avail the facility. While a common man gets limited detail of a vehicle or driving licence if he sends an SMS to our number, the registered mobile users of enforcement agencies would get maximum information. These include the previous offences and pending penalties etc so that they can take action against the offenders," said an NIC official.

But the scheme's success will depend on the central database's repository. At present, about 11.08 crore registration certificates (RCs) and nearly 3.63 crore driving licences (DLs) are digitalized. But there is a backlog of about 5 crore RCs and another 6 crore DLs, which have to be digitalized from manual records.

To expedite the process, Union road transport minister C P Joshi on Tuesday sought state governments' support so that the project can be completed by April, 2015. He promises that states meeting early deadlines would get greater financial support from his ministry.
