So far, over 300 vehicles have been intercepted for non-payment. In one astonishing case, a motorcycle was found with 313 unpaid violations, amounting to Rs. 335,300 in total fines.
CTO Waheed confirmed that a number of government vehicles are also listed among the worst offenders. A separate list of these official vehicles has been compiled, with action expected imminently.
The traffic police are urging all citizens to clear their outstanding e-challans to avoid legal consequences, impoundment, or further penalties.
