Karachi mein traffic qawaneen ko behtar banane ke liye Sindh hukoomat ne aik naya E-Challan System Karachi launch kar diya hai, jo cameras ke zariye rule breakers ko identify karke unhein automatic online challan bhejta hai. Yeh system Karachi Safe City Project ka hissa hai aur iska maqsad sheher ke traffic nizam ko digital aur transparent banana hai. System ke pehle din hi 3,200 se zyada challans Karachi mein jaari hue, jismein zyada tar log seatbelt na pehnne aur over-speeding ke jurm mein pakre gaye. Kuch ghanton mein yeh tadaad 5,500 se upar pohanch gayi, jo is baat ka saboot hai ke naya digital E-Challan system Karachi kis qadar fa’aal hai.
Safe City Project aur Camera Monitoring
Karachi mein traffic management ko behtar banane ke liye Sindh hukoomat ne Safe City Project ke tehat ab tak 1,076 cameras mukhtalif highways aur main roads par lagaye ja chuke hain. Agle do phases mein in cameras ki tadaad 12,000 tak barhayi jayegi jo poore Karachi aur toll plazas ko cover karegi. Cameras Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) aur Facial Recognition technology ka istemal karte hain, jisse rule violation foran identify ho jata hai. Jab bhi koi violation record hoti hai, challan driver ke address par Pakistan Post ke zariye bhej diya jata hai, wohi address jo vehicle ke number plate se linked hota hai.
Challan Payment aur Waiver System
E-Challan par jurmana 21 din ke andar ada karna zaroori hai. Agar koi shaks 14 din ke andar payment kare to usse 50% discount milta hai. Lekin agar 21 din guzar jayein to jurmana dobala ho jata hai. Challan na bharne ki surat mein license suspension aur CNIC block tak ki saza di ja sakti hai. Teen mahine tak challan na dene par driving license suspend ho sakta hai, aur chhe mahine tak na dene par NADRA CNIC block kar dega.
Appeal aur Complaint Ka Tareeqa
Agar kisi driver ko lagta hai ke uspar challan na-jaiz lagaya gaya hai, to woh 11 traffic centers mein appeal file kar sakta hai. Har district mein aik 3-member committee banayi gayi hai jismein ek SSP, ek senior police officer aur CPLC representative shamil hai. Agar appeal qubool ho jaye to challan system se hata diya jata hai. Is process ke dauran 21 din ka payment timer temporarily pause rehta hai.
Heavy Vehicles aur Tracker System
Bari gaadiyon, jaise trucks aur buses, ke liye hukoomat ne tracker lagana لازمی qarar de diya hai. Yeh trackers DIG Traffic Office se direct connected hain aur over-speeding par automatic challan jaari karte hain. November se bina tracker chalne wali heavy vehicles par Rs. 100,000 ka jurmana lagaya jayega, jab ke speed limit cross karne par Rs. 20,000 tak fine ho sakta hai.
App aur Online Monitoring
Citizens ke liye Trax4Citizens App Sindh Police ki website par available hai. CNIC aur mobile number daal kar users apni registered gaadiyon aur challans check kar sakte hain. App par sab violations aur warnings ka record maujood hota hai, jisse log apne driving patterns samajh kar behtari la sakte hain.
Transparency aur Accountability
DIG Traffic Peer Muhammad Shah ke mutabiq, yeh system “fear, responsibility aur accountability” ke usool par mabni hai, yani camera monitoring ka dar, qanoon par amal ki zimmedari, aur har violation ka digital saboot. Manual system ke mukable mein ab koi officer apni marzi se faisla nahi karega; tamam challans automatic evidence ki bunyaad par issue honge. Traffic police ka kehna hai ke yeh system sirf jurmanay lagane ke liye nahi balkay discipline aur road safety paida karne ke liye banaya gaya hai. Iske zariye citizens aur police ke darmiyan unnecessary interaction bhi kam hoga.
Naye Daur Ki Shuruaat
Karachi Traffic Management Company bhi jald qaim ki ja rahi hai jo urban mobility aur traffic coordination mein behtari layegi. Yeh system Karachi ke liye aik naye daur ka aaghaz hai jahan technology, transparency, law enforcement aur road safety ko ek nayi soorat di ja rahi hai. DIG Shah ka kehna hai, “Manual challanon ka daur khatam ho gaya hai, ab technology har violation ka jawab degi.” Karachi ke logon ke liye yeh waqt hai ke woh traffic rules ka ehtram karein aur naye system ke zariye sheher ke traffic ko behtar banane mein apna kirdar ada karein.
