To strengthen monitoring, the Punjab Traffic Police has begun using drones in Gujranwala, Faisalabad, Rawalpindi, and Multan.
The drones are being deployed to identify violations, monitor congestion, and support efforts to maintain smoother traffic flow.
Dedicated units from the Traffic Quick Response Force have also been formed to address violations quickly and assist field teams.
Earlier, authorities proposed increasing fines in Punjab up to Rs20,000 and introduced a modern challan system based on photographic or video evidence.
