Against the backdrop, Urban SP A Ramesh Reddy set up a special team led by Traffic DSP Mallikarjuna for the collection of Rs 9.9 crore pending amount against the e-challans issued for traffic rules violations in the last one year.
Traffic DSP Mallikarjuna said the special drive was to identify those who have failed to pay the challan amount even after the due time and take appropriate action for the collection of the fine amount to clear the fine dues pending for long.
