Over 1,000 E-Challans with Photo Evidence of Violations Served in Lahore

[SherDil]

Most of you might already be familiar with the system of E-Challan, and for those who aren’t, E-Challan is an electronic ticket charging system meant to detect any sort of violation of traffic rules.



The E-Challan system uses an Android phone and a Bluetooth printer for the job and lets traffic police print out challans on the spot as per their needs. This makes the task of ticketing the violators a lot more easier for the Police Force.

When someone is caught red handed, the Police Officer will enter the driver’s license plate number into an Android app which will then be fed to the central database for authenticity. The database will then input the type of violation into the system, and it will be printed out through a portable Bluetooth printer.

The driver can then pay the ticket charges in order to get the license back.

This is what an E-Challan looks like:

More than 1000 Citizens E-Ticketed
The system of E-Challan now works with CCTV cameras as well and due to this, about 1000 citizens were sent E-Challans for breaking traffic rules in Lahore.

This system was established by the Punjab Safe City Authority (PSCA), Punjab Police Integrated Command, Control and Communication System (PPIC3).

This system successfully caught traffic rule violators through CCTV cameras and over 17,000 traffic violations were observed in a month only on Mall Road. According to the PSCA, these violations only include those who were breaking lane rules and not obeying traffic signals.

Moreover, this system of E-Challan is also going to help monitor the issue of bribery inside the police force through CCTV cameras, and E-Challans will be sent to the homes of those responsible.

That's a really good initiative!

 

[Sulman Badshah]

good initiative

This system may not work up-to its potential until 100% vehicles get computerized number plates from Excise & Taxation department, Punjab.

 

[Kambojaric]

Good initiative, but are these only sent in English? Surely there must be an Urdu copy as well? Im asking because in many parts of town, knowledge of English is extremely limited.

 

[RealNapster]

Very good initiative by Lahore Police. I wish CM KP should start this in major cities of KP.

Hum buhat bigre howey hain . E chalan is the best solution to control us

 

[somebozo]

Very good initiative...managing traffic properly is paramount to reducing road risk and deaths..as well as crime.

What is the point if the challan is never paid. The only solution is to have cars with the Chalaan put on a blacklist that has them stopped or impounded after non payment of chalaan for a period.

Like in the UK there is CCTV everywhere not indulging in a pro/con debate on CCTV but a country like Pakistan having faced the kind of security issues could do with a large CCTV monitoring system across the country!

Well the way this system works is

Step1 : Challan (Violation of Rule) , letter is sent to pay fine with evindece (even better)
Step2 : 30-40 Days to pay the fine Online or at Bank
Step3: Case closed if fine paid or Tow truck guy comes and takes away you car and locks it up in garage
Till you pay the fine ($100 per day charges on the car at facility) after which it is impounded


That is how you enforce the law

Would love to see the Motor cycles crushed daily as I hate Motor bikes
