Punjab Proposes Major Changes in Vehicle Number Plates

The Punjab Excise Department has proposed replacing number plates for large SUVs, citing visibility issues with the current design. According to officials, small plates installed on bigger vehicles make registration numbers difficult to read.

Additional Director General of Excise, Rizwan Shirani, has instructed the creation of a new design specifically for large vehicles. He also suggested introducing color-based number plates instead of the traditional black-and-white format to improve clarity and identification.

The new design will be developed with consideration for Safe City cameras and enhanced security features. Excise officials said that once the design receives approval, formal procedures for implementation will begin.

Meanwhile, Lahore has once again topped the list of the world’s most polluted cities, raising concerns about air quality in the provincial capital.
