Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah inaugurated Karachi’s new automated e-challan system on Monday. The system uses 12,000 modern cameras to record traffic violations automatically. It monitors all vehicles, including rickshaws, cars, motorcycles, and heavy vehicles. The initiative aims to improve road safety and enforce traffic laws fairly.
Murad Ali Shah said the system will eliminate human bias and mistakes in issuing fines. Citizens will now get better services and safer roads. The project also strengthens digital transparency and modern governance in Sindh.

The Chief Minister added that 10,000 heavy vehicles already have trackers installed. Vehicles exceeding 30 km/h above the speed limit will automatically receive fines. Tracking and guidance centers have been established to help citizens clarify or appeal e-challans.
Officials explained that public awareness will increase through proper road signs. The government will ensure fines are fairly collected, with some measures for violators who repeatedly break rules. The system will also help monitor traffic patterns and improve city planning.
