Karachi, November 2, 2025: Pakistani actor Nabeel Zafar, best known for his role in the popular sitcom Bulbulay, took a humorous dig at the Sindh government’s new e-challan system in Karachi, saying that driving on the city’s roads deserves an award rather than a fine.
Posting on Instagram, the actor shared his thoughts on the recently implemented traffic fine system, writing:
> “Driving on Karachi’s roads should earn you a reward, not a challan — public demand.”
His tongue-in-cheek remark resonated with many Karachi residents who frequently complain about the city’s deteriorating road conditions, traffic chaos, and lack of infrastructure.
The faceless ticketing system (e-challan) was officially launched in Karachi on October 27, enabling authorities to fine drivers for traffic violations through automated cameras.
According to media reports, more than 12,000 e-challans were issued within the first three days of the system’s rollout.
While the government says the new digital traffic monitoring system aims to improve road discipline, citizens have voiced frustration over poor road maintenance and inconsistent traffic management.
