Sindh Home Minister Ziaul Hassan Lanjar has announced the creation of a high-level committee to address public complaints about the e-challan system, stating that traffic laws will be revised if the current fines are found to be unfair.
Speaking in the Sindh Assembly, Lanjar said the government wants to ensure a balance between firm enforcement and public convenience.
Responding to concerns raised by the opposition leader, he added that all stakeholders will be consulted to improve the e-challan system, which is being introduced in stages across Hyderabad and other districts as part of efforts to modernize traffic control.
The home minister stressed that the purpose of fines is not to generate revenue but to encourage road discipline and awareness. He also announced that the committee will include representatives from both the Muttahida Qaumi Movement Pakistan and the Pakistan Peoples Party.
Lanjar said he will head the committee himself and has instructed the home secretary to issue the official notification. The committee is scheduled to hold its first meeting on December 15.
According to Lanjar, the panel will review public complaints, transparency concerns, traffic enforcement practices, and the existing fine structure. He added that penalties will be reconsidered if the committee suggests changes to ensure fairness and public convenience.
