Karachi Police are rolling out a new system to issue fines for illegal parking as the city expands its digital traffic enforcement. The department has developed special “robot cars” equipped with automated cameras that will detect vehicles parked where stopping is not allowed.
In the first phase, police will deploy these robot cars in Saddar and Tariq Road, two of Karachi’s busiest commercial areas. The vehicles will patrol at around 20 kilometers per hour and automatically issue e-challans to any vehicle found parked illegally.
Officials say this system will improve enforcement and help reduce congestion by replacing slow manual ticketing. Meanwhile, the Sindh government is reviewing Karachi’s e-challan fines after widespread complaints that the penalties are unusually high compared to other regions.
Discussions are underway to significantly reduce several fine categories. A final decision is expected after consultations between the police and the provincial government.
