Sindh government has announced a province-wide crackdown on public service vehicles operating without valid documents. Transport authorities are instructed to conduct immediate inspection drives, seizing unfit vehicles and canceling manual permits. Sindh Senior Minister Sharjeel Memon, responsible for information, transport and mass transit, emphasized the need to address safety concerns arising from widespread violations in the sector.
The campaign aims to verify digitised route permits, cancel invalid permits, and blacklist repeat offenders. Vehicles without valid fitness certificates will be seized, and operators found guilty may face fines, suspension of route permits and license cancellation. Monthly fortnightly reports must be submitted detailing actions taken and recommendations for improvement.
Fire extinguishers are mandated in all public service vehicles, with non-compliant operators facing immediate action.
