The Punjab Safe Cities Authority (PSCA) has accelerated the installation of Safe City surveillance cameras in Rawalpindi, marking another milestone in its province-wide effort to strengthen traffic management, road safety, and crime prevention.
Under the Safe City project, the PSCA has already deployed high-resolution cameras in several cities across Punjab to monitor vehicle and motorcycle movement, detect violations, and issue automated e-challans. The initiative aims to ensure smoother traffic flow, promote compliance with traffic laws, and enhance public safety through real-time monitoring.
In Rawalpindi, the installation phase has reached completion, with cameras now active at major locations including COD Chowk, Fauji Foundation, Liaquat Bagh, Raja Bazaar, Chandni Chowk, Commercial Market, Ali Chowhan Chowk, Ayub Park, Jinnah Park, Chaklala Railway Station, Gulzar-e-Quaid, Faizabad Metro Station, Pirwadhai Mandi Stop, Saddar Bank Road, Qasim Market, Bakra Mandi Chowk, Kachehri Chowk, Rawal Road, Committee Chowk, Tench Bhatta, and Chakri Road.
The e-challan system has officially begun operations in the city following its success in Lahore and other urban centers. A dedicated PSCA headquarters has been established opposite Jinnah Park to manage digital surveillance and process all challans.
Officials said the Safe City system will not only improve traffic discipline but also enable law enforcement to respond swiftly to crimes, accidents, and emergencies. The PSCA has urged citizens to follow traffic regulations, emphasizing that public cooperation is essential for making Rawalpindi a safer and smarter city.
