According to the PRO. Police Officers would now be equipped with cutting-edge technology to verify documents in real-time.
He added that once the e-CMR goes into effect, vehicle owners and users will no longer need to carry physical documents as all vehicle document information will be available digitally.
“No more stopping to check papers—our officers are equipped with cutting-edge tech to verify documents in real-time,” one of the tweets read.
