Chandigarh, Nov. 6 -- Two-wheeler riders on Chandigarh roads can no longer hope to get away without wearing a helmet as the city is all set to get AI-enabled cameras at 47 junctions to catch these violators. The cameras will use automated number plate recognition (ANPR) and video analytics to generate evidence-backed e-challans that will be sent directly to the vehicle owner's address.
