 The Ministry of Labour, Employment and Transport of the province has informed that 100 employees have been appointed on contract and they have already managed hardware and software including computers, scanners.

It will take about 2 years to digitize all of them.

digitization work. "The work will proceed from Push 1," Niraula said, "After digitizing the details of all vehicles, the blue book will also come in digital format and all the processes related to vehicle management will be automated." will be done Since the bluebook is a QR code, it can be printed and carried on paper or displayed on a mobile phone. As the driver does not have to carry the blue book, it is expected that it will be safe and the driver will not have the hassle of carrying documents.

The Wagmati government has already implemented the digital version of the driver's license on November 4. Apart from solving the problem of card printing, the government had implemented the system of digital license through Citizen App, saying that the hassle of paying fines for violating traffic rules would also end.

Under the new system, the traffic police can issue a digit chit (e-chalani) to traffic violators by scanning the QR code inside the Citizen app. After deducting the chit, the concerned person can use the digital payment system to pay the fine immediately.

Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Ravin Karki informed that since the introduction of digital license and e-challan system, there has been a significant increase in the action rate of violation of traffic rules. "Earlier, only 200 to 300 traffic actions were taken per day, but now we are taking action on an average of 900 to 1,000 people daily through the Citizen App," Karki said, "This means that on an average of 1,800 to 1,900 vehicles, almost half of the actions are being taken through digital cheats."  Karki said that the digital chit system has made the traffic enforcement process paperless, easy and transparent. According to the traffic policemen, the trouble of keeping records of traffic violations, collecting fines and returning licenses has been reduced after linking the Traffic Violation Record System (TVRS) of the traffic police with the citizen app. Spokesman Karki informed that under the

digital cheat system, action is being taken against offenses such as red light violation, breaking lane discipline, driving at high speed, and driving under the influence of alcohol.
