The Sindh police have decided to expand the Sindh e Challan system to six more districts after its successful use in Karachi.
Inspector General Ghulam Nabi Memon made the announcement during a meeting at the Central Police Office in Karachi, where senior officers, Additional IGs, and representatives of the Safe City Authority shared updates on the project.
Officials said preparations are complete for launching the Traffic Road Accident and Control System, known as TRACS, along with the installation of enforcement cameras in selected districts as part of the first phase.
The initial rollout will take place in Thatta, Khairpur, Shaheed Benazirabad, Mirpurkhas, Tando Muhammad Khan, and Larkana. These districts were selected based on traffic flow, road conditions, and the need for better monitoring.
According to the DIG Traffic, divisional officers have confirmed that TRACS equipment and camera systems are ready for use. The system will be able to detect number plate violations and record other traffic offenses on its own.
Once a violation is spotted, challans will be issued electronically with no roadside contact. Officials believe this will help curb corruption, bring more transparency, and encourage safer driving.
Service centers have already been set up in all six districts to support the system. Training for staff will start soon under the guidance of TRACS experts.
IG Memon has instructed all DIGs to launch strong awareness campaigns before the system goes live. He emphasized how important it is to educate people about TRACS and the process of electronic challans.
He also urged officers to work closely with local administrations, media outlets, and community groups to spread awareness about key safety measures, such as wearing helmets, using seat belts, and following rules for legal number plates.
