Additional Inspector General Karachi Javed Alam Odho has warned that strict action will begin against anyone using fake or illegal number plates on vehicles. He said the police will act without discrimination as part of the ongoing crackdown.
He instructed citizens to correct their vehicle and motorcycle number plates by December 5, adding that all vehicles with illegal plates after the deadline will be seized.
The deadline for Sindh’s Ajrak-style number plates expired on October 31, yet many motorists continue to violate the requirement.
According to the Excise Department, Sindh has more than 6.5 million registered motorcycles, over 3.3 million of which are in Karachi alone. Officials noted that since the launch of the e-challan system, many drivers have reportedly installed fake plates to avoid fines.
Police said they have already identified numerous violators and will not offer leniency once enforcement begins.
