Hafizabad:
Hafizabad traffic police have published 46,400 amazing Challans during the current year, reaching more than 41.3 million fines for various violations.
While police officials welcomed figures as evidence of strict application and improving road safety, residents and the district business world have expressed criticism, accusing the authorities of adopting a punitive approach and focused on quotas rather than focusing on sustainable traffic management.
According to the official rupture of 2025, the traffic police imposed a fine of 6,209 motorists for one -way violations, 6,688 for driving without a license, 1,545 for the driving of motorcycles without helmet, 8,014 to overload goods or passengers, 2,107 drivers of minors, 1,724 for the violations of the track and the line.
Up to 2,254 vehicles were sentenced to a fine or to Crae-Lifter operations.
The violations have collectively generated 41.3 million fines of fines, an amount considered as unusually high for a district of the size and population of Hafizabad.
High officials welcomed the performance of the traffic service and reaffirmed their commitment to a policy of “zero tolerance”.
“We believe in the police, but that turns into economic harassment,” said a merchant of Madni Bazaar, a shopping center where merchants were launched twice earlier this year.
The demonstrators described the practices of the Aiselle as “blind”, arguing that repeated sanctions – especially during periods of economic inflation, heard citizens with low and intermediate income.
A spokesperson for the Department of Traffic defended his actions, declaring: “Ensuring that the security of lives and goods is our first duty. Obedience to the laws of traffic is a characteristic of responsible citizenship, and a secure civilized society is only possible through collective discipline.”
However, local residents called on the authorities to examine the current operational model of the traffic police. Critics argue that the application must go hand in hand with education, improving infrastructure and vocational training of traffic staff.
“There is a difference between discipline and distress,” said a resident. “What we need is community -focused application, not the police focused on income.” He warned that the distrust of the public continues could undermine both the legitimacy and efficiency of the trafficking forces in the region.
