Govt announces new timings for dumpers in Karachi

The Sindh government has banned the unregistered vehicles on the road.

Addressing a press conference in Karachi, senior provincial minister Sharjeel Memon said that people used to complain that number plates are not issued by the excise department, but the excise department has 80,000 number plates which people have not raised.

He said that the water board has issued bar codes to water tankers, which will check the fitness of the vehicle, such water tankers which are not registered will be stopped, tankers on which the water board does not have a barcode will not be allowed.

Sharjeel Memon said that it would be mandatory for heavy traffic to have a fitness certificate from the Sindh government, but heavy traffic has been given time for fitness certificate, heavy traffic coming from other provinces must also get a fitness certificate from Sindh.

The provincial minister said that according to the law, no vehicle can come out of the showroom until it is registered, if any unregistered vehicle comes out of the showroom by Monday, the showroom will be sealed and the vehicle will be confiscated while imported vehicles coming to other provinces will also go to the carrier.

Memon said that the time of dumpers in the city was from 11 pm to 6 pm, which has now been changed to between 10 pm and 6 am. This decision has been taken for the convenience of the public and transporters.
