Punjab Police announced a major traffic enforcement drive on Tuesday, reporting the issuance of over 37,000 challans and collection of Rs. 26 million in fines within 24 hours. Alongside, more than 34,000 driving licenses were issued in a single day to promote lawful driving practices across the province.
The campaign is part of Punjab Police’s broader effort to improve road safety, curb traffic violations, and encourage drivers to adopt proper licensing. Traffic law enforcement has been tightened after repeated concerns over rising road accidents and poor compliance with regulations.
| Action Taken | Numbers (24 Hours) |
| Driving licenses issued | 34,342 |
| Challans issued | 37,789 |
| Total fines collected | Rs. 26 million |
| Smoke-emitting vehicles fined | 703 |
| Police stations impounding polluting vehicles | 19 |
| Driving training schools operating | 127 |
Inspector General (IGP) Punjab emphasized, “Road safety and strict compliance with traffic regulations remain top priorities. Enforcement will continue without compromise.” He also instructed officials to ensure recovery of fines from defaulters and to maintain consistent action against polluting vehicles.
With 127 driving training schools already functional under Punjab Police, the department aims to balance strict enforcement with formal driving education, building long-term compliance and safer roads in the province.
