Nepal has introduced a new digital system allowing traffic rule violators to attend mandatory awareness classes online through the Nagarik App, replacing the need for in-person sessions.
Traffic Awareness Classes Go Digital Across Nepal
Drivers violating traffic rules in Nepal can now attend mandatory traffic awareness classes online, following the launch of a new digital platform by the authorities. This move transitions the previously in-person training sessions to a more accessible online format.
Official Launch by Home Minister
The new system will be formally launched by Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak at a program scheduled for Sunday at Nepal Police Headquarters. The initiative aims to streamline the awareness process while leveraging technology for broader outreach.
Classes to Cover Key Traffic Violations
Until now, traffic police units across the country have been conducting physical classes for drivers who violated rules such as:
- Drunk driving (Ma. Pa. Se)
- Red light violations
- Over-speeding
- Lane crossing
With the digital shift, violators can now attend the classes online via the Nagarik App, as confirmed by SSP Nawaraj Adhikari, Chief of the Valley Traffic Police Office.
System Tested During COVID-19
SSP Adhikari noted that online classes were previously tested during the COVID-19 pandemic as a temporary measure. Based on its success, the system is now being implemented permanently.
