According to spokesperson Sajid Bashir, over 2,000 e-challans have been issued in just four days under a zero-tolerance policy, and enforcement measures will become even more stringent in the coming weeks.

Under the new rules, repeat offenders will face doubled fines, while third-time violators risk having their vehicles impounded immediately, with a complete ban now in place within Lahore and on motorways.
Authorities have also warned that vehicles displaying fake or self-made stickers will face legal action, including heavy fines and confiscation, as traffic units and anti-enforcement squads conduct continuous spot inspections.
