The Punjab Traffic Police has announced a province-wide crackdown on motorists who have failed to pay their e-challans, with strict enforcement set to begin on July 1. The campaign is part of the government’s efforts to improve road safety, strengthen traffic law enforcement, and encourage responsible driving across Punjab.
According to the Traffic Police, officers across the province have been instructed to follow a zero-tolerance policy against e-challan defaulters. During routine traffic checks, officers will use the Traffic One App, which allows them to instantly verify whether a vehicle has any unpaid e-challans. If outstanding fines are found, motorists will be asked to clear their dues immediately.

Authorities have warned that vehicles, including motorcycles, with unpaid e-challans may be impounded if owners fail to pay their pending fines. The new enforcement campaign is aimed at ensuring that traffic violations are taken seriously and that penalties are paid on time.
Motorists can easily check the status of their e-challans through the Punjab Safe Cities Authority’s online portal before traveling. Traffic officials have advised citizens to verify their records and pay any outstanding fines in advance to avoid inconvenience, legal action, or vehicle seizure during roadside inspections.
DIG Traffic Punjab Muhammad Waqas Nazir urged the public to cooperate with the new enforcement measures by paying their e-challans without delay. He emphasized that the Traffic Police will continue taking action against all traffic law violators without discrimination, regardless of the type of vehicle or the location.
Officials believe the initiative will help improve traffic discipline, reduce repeat violations, and create safer roads for everyone. Timely payment of traffic fines also supports a fair and transparent enforcement system while encouraging motorists to follow road safety regulations.
The Punjab Traffic Police has advised all vehicle owners to clear any pending e-challans before July 1 to avoid penalties, legal proceedings, or the impounding of their vehicles. The department says the campaign is part of its long-term commitment to building a safer, more disciplined road network across the province.
