Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) has implemented the e-challan system, instructing all officers and employees to strictly adhere to traffic laws while using official and personal vehicles. The move aims to improve road safety and accountability in the city.
Under the new system, KMC officials will be personally responsible for paying traffic fines incurred while driving government vehicles. Authorities emphasized that fines must be settled individually to ensure officers comply with traffic regulations at all times.

Officials have also been directed to wear seat belts while driving and avoid using mobile phones or tinted windows in official vehicles. These measures are intended to reduce accidents and ensure safe driving practices among city employees.
Additionally, overspeeding in government vehicles has been prohibited, and tampering with number plates will invite strict action. Officers are required to follow designated routes and adhere to traffic rules during official duties to maintain law and order.

The use of helmets has been made mandatory for all riders of two-wheelers under the KMC system. Authorities said these directives align with broader instructions issued by the Sindh government to enhance compliance and road discipline.
Officials hope that implementing the e-challan system will not only improve traffic rule enforcement but also set an example for the general public, encouraging responsible driving and reducing road-related incidents across Karachi.
