Punjab Launches Digital Traffic ‘One App’ With Video-Backed E‑Challans

The rollout ties recent Traffic Act amendments to a provincewide, evidence‑driven enforcement system.

Overview

  • Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz launched the app on Feb. 12, which officials describe as Pakistan’s first comprehensive evidence‑based traffic enforcement system.
  • Each violation is recorded with preserved, verifiable video, and citizens can scan a QR code to review the footage linked to their e‑challan.
  • Traffic personnel can instantly verify identity cards and driving licences, check vehicle ownership, fitness and route permits, and identify stolen vehicles on the spot.
  • The platform integrates checks of e‑challan histories, FIR status and prior criminal records to support on‑the‑spot decision‑making.
  • Officials say a second phase will introduce a point‑based penalty system, complementing last year’s 20 amendments that tightened penalties and allowed auctioning of vehicles for repeat violations.
