RAWALPINDI: The long-awaited e-challan system has now started in Rawalpindi to improve traffic management and road safety. The system uses Safe City project surveillance cameras to issue electronic challans for traffic violations.
A senior superintendent of police (SSP) from Safe City Rawalpindi said the e-challan system became active, and electronic challans for traffic violations will begin from (Saturday).
He said the cameras will identify offences such as jumping traffic signals, riding motorcycles without helmets, driving without seatbelts, using illegal number plates, and lane violations.
Under the e-challan system, AI technology will detect these violations. Once a violation is recorded, the fine is generated automatically and sent to the offender’s home address.

A police officer said any person passing through Safe City cameras without a helmet or seatbelt will be immediately detected and fined.
Under the Safe City Project, more than 2,000 high-resolution CCTV cameras have been installed at 359 locations across Rawalpindi to improve public safety. Fifteen of these cameras are placed at the city’s entry and exit points.
