70.9K Challans in 6 Months, ₹19.93 Cr Revenue Sparks Debate

Shimla, Sept 2 – BJP spokesperson Vivek Sharma questioned the state government for not discussing challans in the Assembly. He said that from January to June 2025, a total of 7,09,026 challans were issued, generating ₹19.93 crore through DBT. Out of these, 5,32,516 challans were related to lack of parking, raising concerns of harassment rather than law enforcement. He demanded that the revenue collected should be used by local bodies to develop proper parking facilities.
