E-Challan System Launched in Hyderabad (Sindh): Complete List of Camera Locations and Phases

Date: December 31, 2025 Traffic Laws & Updates / Sindh Traffic Police

New Era of Digital Traffic Enforcement in Hyderabad

Drivers in Hyderabad, Sindh, take note: The days of manual traffic monitoring are shifting towards a high-tech digital solution. Following high-level directives issued in December 2025, the Hyderabad Division has officially initiated the E-Challan System.

According to official correspondence (Ref No. HONSEC/1200/DC/Camera/E-Challan/11-12-2025), the administration has authorized the immediate installation of surveillance and enforcement cameras across the city. This move aims to curb traffic violations such as overspeeding, wrong-way driving, and lane indiscipline through automated monitoring.

Below is the complete breakdown of the roads, phases, and specific "hotspots" where these cameras are being installed.

How the System Works

The new enforcement strategy utilizes 10-Megapixel Pole-Mounted ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) Smart Cameras. These devices are linked directly to a Command & Control Center, allowing for:

• Real-time violation monitoring.
• Automated issuance of challans (fines).
• Surveillance of high-traffic and sensitive zones.

Until the full provincial installation is complete, the city has deployed these cameras on 11 major identified routes using locally available resources.
