ALAPPUZHA: It has been one month since the introduction of AI cameras in Kerala and more than 10000 people got caught in this time period for violating traffic rules. The numbers are low since most roads including highways are undergoing renovation work, forcing cameras to remain closed.
Fearing challans, many riders are commuting through service roads to avoid AI lenses. However, it is for the Keltron officials to check the visuals taken through the AI camera. All details from registration to pollution certificate can be accessed in seconds time. Many vehicles without pollution certificates have also received challan during this time period.
Meanwhile, technical glitches are also appearing in big numbers. One Malappuram native received a challan for traveling without a helmet in Alappuzha. However, he reached the office asking for clarification on the gaffe.
According to Keltron, these three are the top violations that are being fined by the authorities.
