Sindh expands faceless e-ticketing system in more districts across province

Following the positive results of the faceless e-challan system in Karachi, IG Sindh Ghulam Nabi Memon has decided to expand the initiative to more districts of the province.

The decision was taken during a meeting, held at the Central Police Office in Karachi, with Sindh IG in the chair. The meeting was attended by key officials, including Additional IGs, Safe City Authority director general and various police officers.

Participants of the meeting were briefed on preparations for implementing the faceless e-ticketing system in other cities. The DIG Traffic, Karachi, and PDITT provided detailed updates on the preparation for deploying the Traffic Road Accident and Control System (TRACS) and the installation of cameras in various districts.

In the first phase of expansion Thatta, Khairpur, Shaheed Benazirabad, Mirpurkhas, Tando Muhammad Khan, and Larkana districts will be covered. The initiative, already operational in Karachi, aims to improve traffic law enforcement by providing an efficient, non-cash-based ticketing system.

The DIG Traffic informed the meeting that reports from the divisional DIGs confirm the readiness of cameras and the TRACS system. The system is capable of detecting number plate violations and other traffic offences. Additionally, service centres have been established in all districts, with staff training set to begin in the coming days.

Memon instructed all DIGs to launch an extensive awareness campaign about the TRACS system before its full implementation. He stressed the importance of involving stakeholders, media, local administrations, and the public to ensure smooth implementation. He also called for raising awareness about traffic rules, such as use of helmet, wearing seat belts and the importance of number plates, to reduce violations.

The IG emphasised the importance of continuing efforts to improve traffic law enforcement and stated that the success of the e-ticketing system will depend on comprehensive public awareness and engagement.
