I.Lanusungkum Aier, the Sr. Technical Director and State Informatics Officer at NIC Nagaland, presented an insightful overview of the e-Challan system. He elucidated that e-Challan is a dynamic Android-based mobile app and web interface meticulously crafted to provide comprehensive support to transport enforcement officers and traffic policemen.

It encompasses the primary functionalities of the traffic enforcement system, and Aier emphasized that it serves as an end-to-end automated system with a digital interface catering to every stakeholder within the challan ecosystem.
