In Srinagar’s digital courtroom, a silent revolution has been unfolding—one traffic violation at a time. Over fourteen months, the region’s Virtual Traffic Court has sifted through an astonishing 2,10,117 challans, turning what once clogged desks and corridors into a streamlined cascade of online resolutions.
The court’s virtual gavel has done more than clear files: it has pulled in ₹7.07 crore in fines, almost entirely through online payments. Behind the numbers lies a mix of disciplined case management, tighter coordination with enforcement teams, and the growing public comfort with digital systems.
At its helm, the Special Mobile Magistrate (Traffic) has credited the court staff and traffic personnel for keeping the machinery running with precision, noting that the swift disposal of violations reflects a deeper push for safer roads across the Valley.
The court has also tipped its hat to the public—urging continued cooperation, fewer violations, and a commitment to rules that keep Kashmir’s roads calm, orderly, and a little less chaotic each day.
