Upon the instructions of Sindh High Court (SHC), the provincial government has imposed a heavy transport vehicle (HTV) entry ban to enhance Karachi’s traffic flow.
Wednesday’s high-level meeting led by Sindh Chief Secretary Dr. Muhammad Sohail Rajput entailed a unanimous vote on this decision.
The meeting saw participation from Commissioner Karachi Muhammad Iqbal Memon, Secretary Home Saeed Ahmed Mangrejo, Secretary Transport Abdul Haleem Sheikh, DIG Traffic Ahmed Nawaz, and relevant police officials.
The department also launched a crackdown operation against tinted windows, pressure horns, and illegal number plates. Chief Secretary Sindh ordered the Deputy Commissioner (DC) of the eastern district to remove all parking from the service road alongside the University Road to improve traffic flow.
The chief secretary ordered commissioner Karachi and other relevant authorities to remove all encroachments from Karachi’s roadways, sidewalks, and walkways immediately to ensure traffic and pedestrian movement.
Deputy Inspector General (DIG) Traffic reported that 15,704 drivers were detained for violations, 3,421 vehicles had fitness certificates suspended, and 320 HTVs faced FIRs. He added that Sindh had fewer traffic challans than other provinces.

If heavy trafic enterance in city is to be decided by high court, for what purpose is highly paid city management. Chief Minister Sindh must take it seriously.
Noting about broken roads, wrong way driving and buses/Rikshaw parkings at intersections?
These are also major causes of bad traffic in city.
I have seen countless times the traffic constables ignoring and sometimes even facilitating wrong way traffic. This country will be in much better condition if the govt. departs do their jobs diligently. But whose to do the accountability?
