The Punjab government on Saturday introduced a new 'One App' to take strong action against traffic violators, tax defaulters, and smoke-emitting vehicles across the province.
With the direction of Director Inspector General (DIG) Traffic Waqas Nazir and support of the Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB), the 'One App' aims to connect nine government departments on a single platform for better cooperation and quick response to matters in real-time.
According to officials, the app brings together the traffic police, excise department, Punjab highway patrol, transport department, district government, environment department, and safe cities authority.
It should be noted that the 'One App' will be available as a pilot project in one district from Monday, November 3, before expanding to other areas of Punjab.
'One App' features
The 'One App' features 11 digital modules designed for vehicle checking and record verification. By simply uploading a photo of a vehicle's number plate, you can quickly get access to complete details.
Once a video or photo of a violation is uploaded, the app will automatically send an e-challan and barcode message to the relevant vehicle owner.
Authorities believe that the 'One App' will make it simple to track stolen vehicles, identify tax defaulters, and smoke-emitting cars.
