The Punjab Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has decided to seize all vehicles without valid green stickers starting November 15 as part of its anti-pollution campaign across the province.
Director General of EPA Punjab, Dr. Imran Hamid Sheikh, announced that authorities have made emission testing mandatory for every vehicle in Lahore. He said enforcement teams have already begun action against smoke-emitting and noise-producing vehicles.
Dr. Sheikh warned that officials will impound any vehicle found on the road after November 15 without an Emission Testing System (ETS) certificate or a green sticker. “Only vehicles that meet Punjab’s environmental standards will stay on the roads,” he said.
He explained that the agency has adopted a zero-tolerance policy against polluting vehicles and will take legal action against owners of unverified or non-compliant cars. “We have started the strictest campaign against air pollution from Lahore,” Dr. Sheikh stated.
