Introduction
As most Indians are aware, Jharkhand was once a part of Bihar but gained its independent status over two decades ago. Despite its relatively recent establishment as a state, the administration, rules and laws in place remain the same. Jharkhand adheres to the same rules and regulations as other states in India, including those concerning driving.
Jharkhand traffic challan is relatively high, a strong deterrent for individuals considering violating traffic rules. The local administration is actively implementing surveillance measures, including cameras and other facilities, to identify and penalize those who break traffic regulations.
