The Punjab Traffic Police has introduced a new digital traffic enforcement system designed to make issuing challans more transparent and reliable. Instead of relying solely on manual ticketing, traffic wardens now record photographic or video evidence before issuing an e-challan through the Traffic Police One App.<\/span><\/p>\n

The initiative aims to improve accountability, reduce roadside disputes, and build greater public confidence in traffic enforcement.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why Was This System Introduced?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Traffic violations often lead to disagreements between motorists and enforcement officers, especially when drivers believe a challan was issued unfairly.<\/span><\/p>\n

The new evidence-based system addresses this by ensuring that every eligible violation is supported with visual proof. This helps create a clear record of the incident while reducing misunderstandings.<\/span><\/p>\n

The digital process also supports faster record-keeping and improves the accuracy of traffic enforcement.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cities Covered<\/b><\/h2>\n

The new system is currently active in five major Punjab cities.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
City<\/b><\/td>\nFocus Areas<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Lahore<\/span><\/td>\nMajor roads, Ring Road, busy intersections<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Rawalpindi<\/span><\/td>\nCommercial roads and Murree Road<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Faisalabad<\/span><\/td>\nExpressways and city roads<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Multan<\/span><\/td>\nMain roads and bypasses<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Gujranwala<\/span><\/td>\nGT Road and key urban corridors<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

The system may expand to additional districts in the future.<\/span><\/p>\n

How the New e-Challan System Works<\/b><\/h2>\n

The process is straightforward:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. A traffic violation is observed by a traffic warden.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. The warden captures photographs or video evidence using the Traffic Police One App.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. The violation details are uploaded digitally.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. The vehicle owner receives an SMS notification from <\/span>8070<\/b>.<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. The SMS includes a link where the recorded evidence can be viewed.<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. The violation becomes part of the vehicle’s digital traffic record.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    This process minimizes disputes because drivers can review the evidence themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Common Violations Covered<\/b><\/h2>\n
