Divya Delhi: An incident that occurred when a Haryana policewoman refused to pay for her ticket while riding on a Rajasthan Roadways bus led to an escalation of a dispute between Rajasthan Roadways and Haryana Roadways on violations of bus fare regulations. As a result of this occurrence, a number of fines, which are referred to as "challans," were given to buses that were operating in both states.At the time, the event took place at a bus stop in Rewari, close to Dharuhera, when a Rajasthan Roadways bus operator asked a female police officer for a fare of fifty rupees. The female officer refused to pay, which resulted in a number of traffic penalties. On the other hand, the policewoman did not pay the fare until other passengers intervened in the situation. Due to the fact that a video that was taken during the confrontation has subsequently been distributed, the public's interest in the incident has increased. As a result of the conflict, both states have given it the name "Jung-e-Challan," and the police from both states have started issuing penalties to the buses that are operated by the other state.A bus operated by Haryana Roadways that was traveling from Kota to Narnaul was detained overnight at a police station in Jaipur, where it was issued a fine of Rs 7,000. This was another occurrence that occurred. During the course of the questioning, the bus conductor brought up the instance in which the female officer had refused to pay for a ticket previously. Despite the fact that the conductor made it clear that the vehicle in question was a Rajasthan Roadways bus, the policewoman responded by stating that it was irrelevant because they were in Haryana. However, the Minister of Transport for Haryana, Anil Vij, stated that the issue was addressed shortly after negotiations with officials, despite the fact that tensions are still very high. It was revealed by Vij that the Haryana Police Department issued challans to ninety buses belonging to Rajasthan Roadways. As a form of retribution, 26, buses belonging to Haryana were penalized at bus stations located in Rajasthan. It has been claimed that the amount of fines has decreased following the original incident; nonetheless, the police continue to stop buses and record their details, which causes drivers of Haryana Roadways to feel frustrated.
