Federal Minister for Communications Abdul Aleem Khan assured goods transporters that their concerns regarding overloaded vehicles on motorways would be addressed as a top priority. During a video link meeting with officials of the All Pakistan Goods Transporters Alliance, Khan elaborated on the axle load policy, which prohibits any overloaded vehicle from using motorways and national highways.
The minister stressed the importance of transporters cooperating in preserving these vital infrastructure components and refraining from transporting excess weight. Khan also invited a delegation of goods transporters to Islamabad the following day for a comprehensive discussion on their concerns. Furthermore, the minister pledged to make the Motorway Police free from corruption within a month, directing the Inspector General to dismiss any officials involved in bribery or corruption.
Khan emphasized that motorways and national highways are national assets, and assured that the genuine concerns of small and medium operators, as well as 10-wheeler vehicles, would also be resolved on a priority basis.
