every car which is taken into possession for butchering does not go under torch, without registration at union office. every vehicle with or without regn plate(s) document(s) is registered and reported to police & aclc every 21 days.
plates & documents remain in custody of buyer, while the record is maintained at union office.
without papers, without plates oldies the seller has to provide cnic copy & an affidavit over Rs.100 stamp paper before such vehicles are towed away to butchering yard. Tow vehicle always take along a Union guy as witness to such purchases.
Half cuts can be clearly defined by hawks as imported scrap or local cuts. write off imported half cuts are sliced through plasma cutters.
any one dealing in scrap can immediately announce the status just by looking at sliced edges.
Stolen vehicles does not reach such places. Thats' altogether a different scam.
