Lahore traffic police have started legal proceedings against motorists who have failed to pay their digital traffic challans and will issue court summons to those who ignore payment notices for 10 days.
Officials said motorists who fail to clear their outstanding fines despite receiving notices will face legal action. Traffic wardens are also assisting judicial authorities at courts across Lahore to facilitate the recovery of unpaid fines.
Under the existing procedure, traffic fines double if motorists fail to pay within 10 days. Officials then forward unpaid challans to the courts for further legal proceedings. The increased penalties have discouraged several motorists from retrieving their seized documents from the courts.
The number of pending digital challans and documents seized over non-payment has approached 800,000, highlighting the scale of outstanding traffic violations in Lahore. Officials said some motorists have chosen to obtain duplicate identity cards and driving licenses rather than pay the increased fines and recover their original documents.
Lahore traffic police have urged motorists to clear their outstanding e-challans and collect their seized documents by following the prescribed legal procedure. The legal action aims to recover unpaid traffic fines and improve compliance with Lahore's digital traffic enforcement system.
