LAHORE: The Punjab government has announced that strict action will be taken against those who have neglected to pay their e-challans.
The authority in a statement stated that the details that 17 special squads have been designated to carry out the action against those who have not paid the e-challan, along with 34 traffic wardens, who have also been allocated to this particular task.
As the initial part of this exercise, the cars that have either neglected to pay their e-challans or have multiple pending e-challans shall be pulled over at the checkpoints that have been set across various points in the region.
The Punjab government has been fairly active in multiple developments in the interest of facilitating and regulating the motorists. Earlier, Punjab Federal Excise and Taxation Department offered a few trusted auto-dealerships the authority to issue vehicle registration and number plates to customers on the spot.
The government introduced a paperless driver’s license issuing system, so motorists can receive their driver’s license in a swift and easy manner. With the recent tightening of the protocols against e-challan evaders, the traffic in Punjab should become a lot more civil.
