Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz has launched the province’s first Digital Traffic E-Challan system, known as the “One App,” aimed at strengthening traffic enforcement and improving transparency. The initiative marks a significant shift toward technology driven governance in the traffic management sector.
The application allows authorities to securely store video evidence of traffic violations and instantly verify identity cards and driving licences.
Officials can also check whether a vehicle has been reported stolen and confirm details such as ownership status, fitness certificates, and route permits in real time.
In addition to traffic monitoring, the platform supports digital action against encroachments and environmental violations. It provides access to electronic challans, updates on FIR status, and relevant criminal records, enabling law enforcement agencies to respond more efficiently.
The launch comes as part of broader traffic reforms introduced after six decades. These measures include stricter penalties for repeat offenders, auctioning of vehicles involved in repeated violations, redesigned U-turns to improve road safety, and quicker compensation processes for accident victims.
Officials say the new digital system will reduce manual paperwork, limit discretionary practices, and create a more accountable enforcement framework.
By integrating multiple verification tools into a single platform, the government aims to streamline traffic operations and promote compliance with road safety regulations across Punjab.
