Karachi Police Collect Rs25 Million via E-Challan System, Plan Expansion Across Sindh

Karachi police have successfully collected Rs25 million in fines through the city’s e-challan system, according to ARY News. The figures were revealed during a meeting chaired by IG Sindh Ghulam Nabi Memon, which reviewed the performance and potential expansion of the cashless e-ticketing system. The meeting included a detailed briefing from the DIG Traffic on the system’s implementation and outcomes.

Since the introduction of e-challans in Karachi, over 23,000 citizens have visited facilitation centers. The briefing highlighted that fewer than 200 challans have been contested, while 90% of issued e-challans have been waived. Overall, approximately 4,000 challans have resulted in fines totaling Rs25 million.

The next phase of the initiative will target parking violations through both ground and aerial surveillance. Cameras, scanners, and drones installed on traffic police vehicles will automatically issue e-tickets to vehicles parked in no-parking zones. Divisional DIGs have already submitted reports on the installation and coverage of cameras across their respective districts.

IG Sindh emphasized that the cashless e-challan system has been widely welcomed by the public, improved compliance with traffic laws, and significantly reduced complaints about unnecessary delays. He added that the benefits of this modern technology will now be extended to other cities in the province. Under the new Motor Vehicle Act, facilitation centers will be established in all districts to support the system and ensure smooth implementation.
