Ticket system next week
FAISALABAD, Dec 23: The local traffic police will launch new challan system in the district in the next week.
Traffic SP Zahid Husain Sherazi told newsmen on Sunday that all the legal formalities to introduce the ticket system had already been completed.
He said the system had been devised on the directions of the Punjab traffic police to recover fines from violators. All the tehsil and district branches of National Bank of Pakistan (NBP) had been authorized to collect the fine, he added.
He maintained policemen on duty would take into custody driver’s license or vehicle’s registration book. The violators would deposit fine with the banks within 10 days according to the prescribed schedule for retrieving their documents from traffic police’s sector offices, he added.
He said the violators would pay Rs10 to the banks as service charges, adding the defaulters would be brought to book.
The SP claimed a special help desk had been set up in the city to guide motorists about the new system. He maintained speed guns had been provided to the policemen on duty at various city roads and highways to check the speeding of the vehicles.
Special traffic police personnel committees had been constituted to take action against the smoke emitting vehicles and crew involved in overcharging, he concluded.
