Right Angle<\/a> \u2013 Written by Nadeem Ahmed Advocate – E-Challan Arrived, Will Death Be Able to Stop?<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Karachi<\/strong>\u2026 The city that was once known as the center of lights, today stands on the roads with the shadow of death. From January<\/strong> to October 2025,<\/strong> in just Ten Months, 720 citizens<\/strong> lost their lives in traffic accidents and more than 10,000<\/strong> were injured,<\/p>\n

After 771 deaths<\/strong> last year, these figures have now become an alarm bell. Every day, an average of two citizens leave home but do not return \u2014 because Karachi\u2019s Roads<\/strong> are no longer life, but have started giving accidents.<\/p>\n

The poorest segment of the population is paying the highest price for these accidents who travel on motorcycles or Rickshaws<\/strong>. Without helmets, in the race for speed, they RISK<\/strong> their lives.<\/p>\n

Rickshaw drivers take five passengers instead of three, and often their vehicles are technically defective. Breaking the signal, taking the wrong side, driving on the wrong side or talking on a mobile phone while driving are now commonplace. The result \u2014 a moment\u2019s mistake, and life is lost.<\/p>\n

The situation with heavy vehicles is no less dangerous. Trucks, trailers, water tankers and dumpers ply day and night in the city\u2019s residential areas. In several accidents, these vehicles have crushed small motorcycles and rickshaws.<\/p>\n

Drivers are often untrained, sleep deprived, and sometimes drive while intoxicated. But the law is silent \u2014 and the government\u2019s response is often limited to formalities after an accident.<\/p>\n

The city\u2019s roads themselves are also a major cause of accidents. Broken sidewalks, bad signals, missing lane markings, and no facilities for pedestrian crossing. Ambulances get stuck in traffic during emergencies. After an accident, paperwork starts instead of justice.<\/p>\n

It seems that speed, not humanity, reigns on Karachi\u2019s roads. Now the Sindh Government<\/strong> has taken a New Step \u2014 the “E-challan System”<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This system automatically records traffic violations through modern cameras in the city and sends challans to the driver\u2019s home. In the first phase, hundreds of modern cameras have been installed at various locations in Karachi that record speeding, signal violations, and lane violations.<\/p>\n

If this system is implemented with complete transparency and rigor, experts say that traffic accidents can be reduced by “At Least 25 to 30 Percent”<\/strong>. The reason is that the driver will realize that violations can no longer be hidden. Neither bribes nor recommendations \u2014 the camera captures everything.<\/p>\n

E-challan<\/strong> will also reduce the pressure on the police, because now the system will decide automatically. However, this system will be successful only if the government adopts it as a real reform, not just a show-off project.<\/p>\n

A change in the attitude of citizens is also necessary. If a motorcyclist does not wear a helmet, or a rickshaw driver puts his life and the lives of others at risk, then no e-challan can save lives. Real change will come when the government, the police, and the public \u2014 all three \u2014 fulfill their responsibilities.<\/p>\n

Karachi<\/strong> needs not just new laws, but a new mindset \u2014 that the road is not a place to speed, but a place to keep life safe. Only when this mindset changes can Karachi’s roads become a journey of life, not a path of death.<\/p>\n
