Offici­als hope this will bring more transp­arency to proces­s, ease paymen­t system­ISLAMABAD: In a step which will herald the capital’s traffic police into a digital era, the Islamabad Traffic Police (ITP) is expected to start issuing e-tickets to motorists for violating traffic rule violations soon. Under the new system, which is expected to be launched within a month’s time, traffic wardens would issue tickets using smartphones. Moreover, to make paying the fine easier — and paperless —violators would be able to pay their fine at the hundreds of telecom outlets peppering the twin cities of Islamabad and Rawalpindi. Explaining the new process, officials said that whenever a traffic warden flags down a violator, they will use the application to issue a ticket to the driver. The initiative [e-ticket] is designed to facilitate not only our traffic officials but also the general public.”SSP-Traffic said ITP officials were currently being trained by the NBP to run the new system.
