According to a police spokesperson, the new high-tech cameras will automatically issue e-challans to traffic violators instead of requiring officers to stop vehicles on the road. The system is intended to improve compliance with traffic laws, reduce accidents and enhance public safety.

The new e-challan locations include Abid Majeed Road near Army Medical College, Lane 4 on Main Peshawar Road, Raafi Mall on Main Peshawar Road, Chauhar Chowk on Main Peshawar Road, Chishtia Abad Turn on Main Peshawar Road, Rawal Road near Benazir Bhutto Hospital, Hameed Khan Chowk on Murree Road, and Committee Chowk near Fish Market on Murree Road.

Additional cameras have also been installed at Bohar Bazaar opposite Naaz Cinema on Murree Road, Double Road Turn at Shalimar, Dhoke Khallo near Sixth Road, the Survey of Pakistan U-turn on Murree Road, Sanober City on Main Adiala Road, and the U-turn Chowk near the Punjab Housing Authority on Main Adiala Road.

The spokesperson urged motorists to observe speed limits and follow traffic laws, saying public cooperation is essential to making the city’s roads safer and better managed.
