Karachi has introduced Pakistan’s first-ever aerial e-challan system, marking a major step in modernizing traffic management.
The Traffic Regulation and Citation System’s drone has begun aerial patrols in various parts of Karachi’s Saddar area.
DIG Traffic Pir Mohammed Shah announced that two vehicles were issued heavy fines for illegal parking on Zaibunnisa Street.
Both vehicle owners received e-challans of Rs10,000 each, generated facelessly during peak traffic hours in the evening.

Shah added motorists can get a 50 percent discount if the fine is paid within 14 days. Late payments after December 29 will face double penalties.
The drone covers the route from Saddar Mobile Market to Abdullah Haroon Road, with continuous monitoring on major Saddar roads. A special team oversees enforcement.
Since the e-challan system’s launch, Karachi police have collected Rs25 million in fines. Over 23,000 citizens have visited facilitation centers, showing strong public engagement.
