KARACHI: Karachi Traffic Police has decided to introduce robots to issue e-challans under the ongoing e-Trax system in the city to streamline the traffic enforcement system.
Speaking at a function in Karachi, DIG Traffic, Pir Muhammad Shah, revealed that the city will soon introduce a third method of issuing e-challans through the use of robots.
He said that the robots will be deployed on various roads including Saddar and Tariq Roads from next month.
The robots, which will travel at a speed of 20 kmph, will scan vehicles while moving and automatically issue e-challans to those violating parking or traffic regulations.
The new initiative is expected to make the enforcement of traffic laws more effective and reduce human intervention in monitoring violations.
It is also seen as part of wider efforts to enhance traffic management in Karachi.
As part of the ongoing e-Track system, nearly 50,000 citizens have already received e-challans for traffic violations over the past two weeks.
The new robot-powered method is expected to further strengthen the city’s efforts in improving traffic management and road safety.
