The order also says that any police personnel who do not accept these documents will be subject to necessary disciplinary action. The order has been issued by the Additional Director General, Traffic Smita Srivastava after it came to notice that the police were continuing to demand original and paper documents and not accepting the virtual documents in many cases across the state.
