Karachi Expands E-Challan System with New Traffic Fines Announced

KARACHI: In a major move to curb traffic violations, the traffic police in Karachi have introduced new measures to penalize motorists driving on the wrong side of the road. 

DIG Traffic Pir Muhammad Shah has expressed his concern with the significant number of drivers going the wrong way, as it is becoming one of their biggest problems. He stated that the Traffic Department has been provided with new equipment that will allow them to issue violations more easily over a greater area of Karachi.

He indicated that there will be a Special Traffic Flow Unit implemented on some major roads in order to assist with better traffic flow and discipline. He has identified approximately 36 locations throughout Karachi and will monitor them closely for these drivers who are going the wrong way.

Pir Muhammad Shah also highlighted that while the faceless tracking system (e-challan) has been introduced, it is not yet fully operational across Karachi. He noted that the system has replaced manual challans, bringing both advantages and challenges.

The DIG Traffic revealed that the faceless tracking system is currently not available on University Road, one of the busiest arteries of Karachi.

He added that starting June, strict action will also be taken against lane violations on Shahrah-e-Faisal, as authorities intensify efforts to improve overall traffic management in Karachi.
