Traffic Challan Enforcement in Bihar
Bihar Traffic Police enforces e-challans particularly in Patna, Gaya, and Muzaffarpur. High-enforcement zones include NH-19 (Patna-Varanasi), NH-28 (Muzaffarpur-Gorakhpur), and Bailey Road (Patna). Patna sees highest challan volume during peak festival periods — Chhath Puja and Durga Puja create massive traffic violations. Commercial vehicle overloading is a major violation on Gaya-Bodh Gaya pilgrim routes. Bihar traffic cases are handled at Patna District and Sessions Court and respective city magistrate courts. Bihar Legal Services Authority (BSLSA) operates Lok Adalat at district level.
