The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government has announced a province-wide crackdown on vehicles displaying fake or unauthorized registration plates. The campaign will begin on November 10.
The provincial government has directed owners of cars, motorcycles, and rickshaws to display officially issued registration plates. The Excise, Taxation and Narcotics Control Department has issued these instructions.
Vehicle owners must ensure their vehicles carry Original Number Plates issued by the department. The new instructions also cover people using self-made or illegally prepared registration plates.
Authorities have advised motorists who have not received their official plates to collect them immediately. They can visit their respective district excise offices to obtain them.
The department has urged all vehicle owners to complete this process before November 10. Failure to follow the instructions could result in legal action.
Strict Action Against Vehicles Without Original Number Plates
The authorities will take action against vehicles displaying fake, illegal, or self-made number plates after the deadline. The enforcement campaign will cover different categories of vehicles across the province.
According to the department, violators could face heavy financial penalties. Authorities may also confiscate vehicles found carrying unauthorized registration plates.
The crackdown is intended to ensure that vehicles display officially approved registration numbers. It will also support enforcement efforts against vehicles using illegal identification plates.
Motorists have been advised to avoid using privately manufactured number plates. Only officially issued Original Number Plates will meet the department’s requirements.
Where Can Vehicle Owners Collect Their Number Plates?
The Excise Department has instructed vehicle owners awaiting their official plates to contact their district offices. They can collect their registration plates from the relevant excise office.
This instruction applies to owners of cars, motorcycles, and rickshaws. Those who have already received their plates should ensure they are properly displayed.
Vehicle owners who are still waiting for their plates should not delay the collection process. They should contact their respective district offices before the enforcement campaign begins.
The department has encouraged motorists to cooperate with the authorities. Following the instructions will help them avoid fines and other legal consequences.
