The E-Challan system—already active in cities like Lahore, Faisalabad, Multan, and Rawalpindi—uses advanced Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras installed across key roads and intersections. These cameras automatically detect traffic violations such as:
- Overspeeding 🚦
- Red-light violations 🚫
- Wrong-lane driving 🚙
- Helmetless biking 🏍️
- Other traffic rule breaches
Once a violation is detected, an electronic challan (E-Challan) is generated and sent directly to the vehicle owner’s registered address. Citizens can also check their challan online through the official PSCA portal or the City Traffic Police website.
Why This Matters
The launch of the E-Challan system in another city comes with several benefits:
✅ Transparency: No more on-the-spot arguments with traffic wardens—everything is recorded digitally.
✅ Accountability: Every violation is backed by photographic/video evidence.
✅ Efficiency: Traffic police can focus on managing traffic flow instead of issuing manual tickets.
✅ Road Safety: Stricter enforcement encourages drivers to follow traffic rules.
How to Check and Pay Your E-Challan
Vehicle owners can:
- Visit the PSCA website or City Traffic Police portal.
- Enter their vehicle registration number.
- View any pending challans with attached evidence.
- Pay online via e-banking, mobile apps, or designated bank branches.
Final Thoughts
With this expansion, the Punjab government is steadily moving toward a digitally integrated traffic system. The E-Challan system not only helps reduce traffic accidents but also builds a culture of responsible driving.
As more cities adopt this system, Punjab’s roads will hopefully become safer, smoother, and more disciplined for everyone.
