The Karachi Traffic Police has launched a new mobile application called “Tracks Citizen” to help motorists access complete information about their vehicles and traffic violations following the rollout of the city’s e-challan system.
According to details, the app allows users to check all vehicles registered under their CNIC and view records of e-challans and traffic violations. Once logged in, all vehicles associated with the user’s ID automatically appear on the dashboard.
Available for both Android and iPhone users, the “Tracks Citizen” app also enables citizens to receive real-time updates on traffic rule violations. Notifications are issued in two parts — a warning message and an official e-ticket (e-challan).
The initiative follows the launch of Karachi’s digital e-challan system, which issued fines exceeding Rs. 12.5 million within just six hours of operation. During this period, a total of 2,662 e-challans were generated for various traffic offenses.
The breakdown of violations includes 419 for overspeeding, 1,535 for not wearing seatbelts, 166 for red-signal violations, 507 for helmetless riding, and 32 for using mobile phones while driving. Other infractions included tinted windows, wrong-way driving, lane and stop-line breaches, and illegal parking.
The Karachi Traffic Police said the digital platform aims to improve transparency, efficiency, and public awareness regarding road safety and compliance.
