The Sindh government is embarked on launching a crackdown on vehicles with unregistered number plates. Vehicles with an open letter, bear applied for registration or with tinted glasses or without number plates will also be ceased from Feb 28.
After the Police office attack, the provincial government decided to take stern action against vehicles violating laws while using unregistered number plates. Sindh police have given such vehicles a week.
Following a meeting chaired by CM, in a press conference, Information and Transport Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon, along with Excise and Taxation Minister Mukesh Kumar Chawla and chief minister’s law adviser Barrister Murtaza Wahab announced the crackdown.
Memon stated that no one would be spared once the action started. No showroom is allowed to sell an unregistered car, “If someone sells an unregistered vehicle that is then used in a crime, the showroom owner will also be held liable for the crime”, he added.
Crackdown On Non-Registered Cars in Lahore
In a bid to urge the owners of non-registered vehicles to register their cars and improve the token tax collection mechanism, the Excise & Taxation Department of Punjab has launched a crackdown. Therefore, unregistered cars are a danger on roads. Special police squads are constituted to check unregistered cars and other vehicles plying on roads.
Media reports have revealed that non-registered and tax default vehicles in all the districts of Punjab will be ceased. Newly appointed Director General Excise, Chaudhary Asif, has directed to arrange special pickets to check unregistered and default vehicles.
