Lahore’s E-Challan Crackdown Clears Rs. 30.7 Million in Just 20 Days

Lahore: In a bold and aggressive move, the Lahore Traffic Police has successfully recovered an impressive Rs. 30.7 million in unpaid e-challan fines within just 20 days. The operation, aimed at enforcing traffic laws and ensuring public road safety, has been one of the city’s most effective enforcement campaigns to date.

Massive Crackdown on Defaulters

The traffic police intensified their efforts across major city roads, intersections, and check posts, focusing on vehicles with long-overdue e-challan fines. Special enforcement teams were deployed to scan vehicle number plates and detain those with pending dues.

According to officials, over 30,000 challan defaulters were traced and fined during this period. Those failing to pay on the spot faced immediate vehicle confiscation and legal action under the Punjab Motor Vehicles Ordinance.

Public Response and Awareness

While some commuters expressed frustration over on-road detentions, many citizens praised the campaign for promoting road safety and law compliance. The police also launched a public awareness drive, urging people to regularly check their e-challan status through the official Punjab Safe Cities Authority (PSCA) portal.

How to Check Your E-Challan Online

Motorists can verify their challan status by visiting the PSCA E-Challan website and entering their vehicle number and CNIC. It’s recommended to clear dues promptly to avoid penalties and roadside checks.

Future Plans by Lahore Traffic Police

Encouraged by the positive results, the Lahore Traffic Police announced plans to expand the crackdown to other areas of the city and increase random spot checks. The department emphasized that strict legal action will continue against habitual violators to maintain traffic discipline.
