Starting October 1, the Karachi traffic police announced the discontinuation of on-site challans, introducing a new postal challan system from October 27, designed to automate penalty delivery at home.
Under this system, traffic fines will now be mailed directly to violators’ home addresses, using vehicle registration data to improve accountability and reduce street disputes.
Officials said the initiative aims to promote transparency and efficiency, ensuring that all traffic rule violators are penalized through a centralized digital record system instead of manual collection.
