In an effort to improve road safety and prevent accidents, Rawalpindi officials have begun a new project to monitor and enforce traffic laws with drones and cameras.
This measure is part of a larger attempt to use contemporary technologies to reduce risky driving practices.
Chief Technology Officer (CTO) Farhan Aslam announced that authorities will concentrate on juvenile drivers, motorbike riders without helmets, and one-way traffic offences. "We are now acting against violators through real-time drone surveillance," he told reporters.
The e-challan system, which was formally introduced on November 22, is now fully integrated with the Safe City Command and Control Centre.
During the first four days of operation, officials issued approximately 600 electronic tickets for various traffic offences.
Over 2,000 cameras have been put at 359 places throughout Rawalpindi, with an additional 15 cameras stationed at the city's entry and exit points.
The vast network is being utilised to monitor public spaces, assess traffic flow, evaluate warden effectiveness, and supervise major highways.
The major goal of this initiative is to save lives, not only levy fines. The traffic police take tangible actions to reduce accidents and promote safer travel for everyone.
