District Police Officer Zahidullah Jan told reporters that all the 22 ticketing officers have been issued mobile sets and the printers for on spot issuance of e-challans to the violators of traffic rules in the district.

He said the TOIs were trained properly by the IT experts of the Police Department before issuing them mobile sets and printers.
