In an attempt to reduce traffic violations, the number of blacklisting and seizing cars with outstanding e-challans has been reduced.
As of now, motorcycles with 10 unpaid e-challans and cars with 25 unpaid e-challans are subject to seizure. All vehicles with 25 unpaid e-challans will be added to the blacklist registry as part of the phased enforcement plan.
However, in the later stages, those with 10 unpaid e-challans will also face impoundment. Vehicles seized will stay at the police station until all fines have been paid.
To expedite compliance, the 50 e-challans that were previously required for blacklisting have been cut in half.
According to an official Athar Waheed, "The purpose of reducing the challan limit is to initiate a crackdown against e-challan defaulter vehicles."
To ensure a stronger enforcement mechanism, he added, the traffic authority is working with Safe City authorities to expedite the recovery of unpaid fines.
