The Sindh Police is preparing to roll out its ‘Faceless E-Ticketing’ system throughout the province, following its successful launch in Karachi, which generated significant public interest. Inspector General of Police (IGP) Ghulam Nabi Memon has delegated tasks to important officials to complete the necessary arrangements for the expansion.

As per information disclosed in a top-level meeting led by the IGP at the Central Police Office in Karachi, DIG Traffic Karachi and DIG IT have been instructed to work with divisional DIGs to facilitate the system’s implementation across other districts.

According to the plan, DIG IT will evaluate camera setups on city roads and highways, covering aspects such as recording and storage capabilities, internet access, and technical systems. DIG Traffic Karachi will provide guidance to divisional DIGs regarding the TRACS system and the creation of support centers. DIG Traffic Karachi stated that Karachi is preparing to conduct ground and aerial scanning to address violations of parking lanes. Vehicles found parked in ‘No Parking’ areas will receive electronic tickets via scanners installed on traffic police vehicles and drones.

The IGP has directed all divisional DIGs to make sure that facilitation centers in their respective areas are completely ready and that personnel are adequately trained immediately. After verification of preparedness, faceless e-ticketing will officially start in other cities.

During the meeting, DIG Traffic Karachi provided updates to attendees, which included Additional IGs and DIGs from welfare, training, Safe City Authority, headquarters, highways, IT, finance, licensing, and district administrations, while divisional DIGs participated through video conferencing. Following the introduction of e-challans in Karachi, over 23,000 citizens visited the facilitation centers. Less than 200 challans were disputed. Almost 90% of issued e-challans have been waived after verification. The traffic police have collected Rs 25 million in fines from approximately 4,000 challan cases. The next stage includes on-ground and aerial monitoring for parking lane violations using cameras, scanners, and drones.

Divisional DIGs have already provided reports regarding the cameras deployed in their respective areas. The IGP mentioned that the system has received widespread approval in Karachi. He pointed out that the installation of cameras has enhanced adherence to traffic regulations and considerably cut down on unnecessary travel delays. He highlighted that the current objective is to bring the advantages of this technology to other cities, noting that new motor vehicle laws mandate the creation of facilitation centers in each district. All districts will transmit images of traffic violations to the centralized Traffic Regulation and Citation System (TRACS) in Karachi, where electronic tickets will be generated and sent out. The IGP concluded that once all preparations are examined, faceless e-ticketing will be introduced in several cities across Sindh.
