Sindh to roll out fee-less e-ticketing system in seven more districts after Karachi

Following the positive results of the faceless e-challan system in Karachi, IG Sindh Ghulam Nabi Memon has decided to expand the initiative to seven districts of Sindh.

The decision was made after a meeting held at the Central Police Office in Karachi, chaired by Memon, and attended by key officials, including Additional IGs, the DG of the Safe City Authority and various police officers.

During the meeting, participants were briefed on preparations for implementing the face-less e-ticketing system in other cities. The Traffic DIG Karachi and PDITT provided detailed updates on the preparation for deploying the TRACS system (Traffic Road Accident and Control System) and the installation of cameras in various districts.

The first phase of the expansion will begin in the districts of Thatta, Khairpur, Shaheed Benazirabad, Mirpurkhas, Tando Muhammad Khan, and Larkana. The initiative, already operational in Karachi, aims to improve traffic law enforcement by providing an efficient, non-cash-based ticketing system.

The DIG Traffic Karachi reported that reports from the divisional DIGs confirm the readiness of cameras and the TRACS system. The system is capable of detecting number plate violations and other traffic offences. Additionally, service centres have been established in all districts, with staff training set to begin in the coming days.

Memon instructed all DIGs to launch an extensive awareness campaign about the TRACS system before its full implementation. He stressed the importance of involving stakeholders, media, local administrations, and the public to ensure smooth implementation. He also called for raising awareness about traffic rules, such as helmet use and the importance of number plates, to reduce violations.

The IG emphasised the importance of continuing efforts to improve traffic law enforcement and stated that the success of the e-ticketing system will depend on comprehensive public awareness and engagement.
