Karachi Traffic Police has decided to deploy robots to issue e-challans under the city’s ongoing E-Tracks system.
Speaking at an event, DIG Traffic Peer Muhammad Shah announced that a third method for issuing electronic challans will soon be introduced. This time through robots.
He said that starting next month, “No Parking” and “No Two-Lane” signboards will be installed across various roads, including Saddar and Tariq Road. The newly introduced robots will patrol these routes at a speed of around 20 kilometers per hour.
According to Shah, the robots will automatically scan vehicles as they move along the roads. Any car found violating parking or traffic regulations will receive an e-challan directly through the system.
He further noted that within just two weeks of implementing the E-Tracks system, nearly 50,000 motorists in Karachi have already been fined for traffic violations.
