We’ve all been in a hurry where we have violated the traffic rules once or twice, especially on a Monday morning and if you woke up on the wrong side of the bed, you can expect a traffic warden waving his hand in front of your car to stop you and writing you a big fat challan.
It’s understandable, violating a traffic signal can and will result in challan but when it comes to paying that challan it can be a serious hassle. Which many of us are not ready to get involved in. BUT we’ve got good news!
Traffic police in the different cities of Punjab took a new initiative and launched a new online system through which the traffic violators can pay their traffic challan on the spot and hassle-free. With the introduction of this new digital system, people can easily pay their challan by different transfer services like Easy-Paisa, Jazz Cash, and also through bank application on your smart-phone devices. Well, it is getting digital, isn’t it?
However, the service is currently operational in Lahore, Faisalabad, Gujranwala, and Multan only. But it is soon expected to be operational in other cities of Punjab.
We’re here with a complete guide on how you pay your challans now!
