Lahore Traffic Police has captured a car with a fine of over Rs16,000. As per details, the vehicle has violated the traffic signals 34 times. After catching, the vehicle is currently in the custody of the police.
According to the police, the car was nabbed during a new operation against traffic violators. “The vehicle papers over 20,000 E-Challan defaulters have been seized under the operation,” the police said.
Traffic Police CTO Syed Hammad Abid told the media that 17 teams are working against E-challan defaulters. “The traffic wardens have also been given printers and devices,” he said. Through these devices, the wardens can identify the defaulters very easily.

E-Challans:
Last year, the police caught around 2 million traffic violations on cameras and issued electronic challans to the violators. These e-challans added 192.73 million to the national exchequer.

PSCA is making a killing with the new Automatic Vehicle Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras to identify traffic violations. Here’s the drill: the ANPR cameras, installed across different roads of Punjab, capture the license plate of the traffic violator’s car. The system pastes the camera shot on a challan paper with other details of the violation and sends it to the car owner’s home. The convict then pays the challan through e-banking, mobile banking, ATM service, Easypaisa service, or by physically visiting a bank.
During the last two years, the Punjab Safe Cities Authority (PSCA) has issued over 4.4 million e-challans and collected 339 million rupees worth of payments. Out of these 4.4 million traffic rules violators, around 2 million and 75 thousand were vehicle owners, 2.2 million and 90 thousand were motorcyclists, and over 85 thousand were commercial vehicles.
