The Kolkata Traffic Police today started an online payment facility through a portal and an SMS based information exchange service for traffic related problems.

People can now make their traffic related payments online form home and can receive all their traffic related information through SMS on their mobile.

Inaugurating the project Kolkata Police Commissioner Goutam Mohan Chakraborty said "the people will have to send an SMS to Kolkata Traffic police on 56767 giving the vehicle no and the engine no and all cases relating to the vehicle will be sent immediately to the person on his mobile" Chakraborty.

"This will not only save time but relieve the person from unnecessary harassment" Chakraborty added.

"Apart from this we are trying to a launch a system where the person will not have to go to the traffic guard for the seized documents rather we will sent those documents through courier. An additional charge will be paid for this purpose" Chakraborty said.

The kolkata police is also thinking of a system termed 'Car Pooling' which will reduce the traffic burden on the roads of the city during school hours.

"We are speaking with the schools and if this system works then we will be able to reduce the traffic burden to a considerable degree" Chakraborty said.
