Karachi is preparing to introduce the Faceless E-Challan System from October 1, 2025, a reform designed to make traffic management more transparent and accountable. With the help of CCTV cameras, all traffic violations will be recorded through photo/video evidence, and challans will be dispatched directly to the violator’s home. This process eliminates roadside negotiations and ensures consistent, corruption-free enforcement.
Awareness Campaign in Karachi
According to a Traffic Police spokesperson, awareness drives are underway across the city. Volunteers, female officers, and students are distributing pamphlets and engaging with citizens to explain how the Faceless E-Challan System will work and why it marks a revolutionary step for Karachi’s traffic safety.
Why It Matters
The Faceless E-Challan System will:
- Guarantee evidence-based enforcement using photo/video records.
- End the culture of roadside negotiations.
- Reduce corruption and bring fairness to Karachi’s roads.
- Set the stage for a safer and more organized city.

Seven-Year Delay Compared to Lahore
While Lahore launched its e-challan system back in 2018, Karachi is rolling it out almost seven years later. The delay has raised questions, but authorities argue it provides an advantage. Officials believe Karachi can benefit from the experience in Lahore, avoiding early challenges and ensuring a more refined rollout. This makes the Faceless E-Challan System better positioned for smoother and more effective implementation.
Conclusion
The Faceless E-Challan System is a revolutionary initiative for Karachi. By removing human discretion, using CCTV monitoring, and ensuring corruption-free enforcement, it promises to make roads safer, traffic more organized, and law enforcement more transparent.
