RAWALPINDI (Kashmir English): The e-challan system for traffic law violations has gone live in Rawalpindi from Saturday, with the automated ticketing system now linked to the Safe City Command and Control Centre.
Under the new system, vehicle owners, upon violation of traffic laws, will receive e-challans along with photographs and a code, with fines required to be deposited within the specified timeframe.
e-challan system integrated with Safe City network
The digital challan system has been integrated with the Safe City Command and Control Centre, enabling automated CCTV cameras to flag traffic violations across the city.
Automatic fines will be issued for traffic signal violations, while instant e-challans will be generated for motorcyclists riding without helmets, lane violations, and mobile phone use while driving.
Similarly, automated action will be taken against non-standard and illegal number plates. As soon as a violation is recorded, a challan will be issued and dispatched to the violator’s home address.
According to officials over 2,000 cameras have been installed at 359 key locations across the city. Additionally, 15 cameras have been deployed at entry and exit points of the garrison city.
Public areas would also be monitored through the camera network, with traffic management, traffic police performance evaluation, and surveillance of major roads all integrated with the system.
