The Sindh government has launched a crackdown on unfit commercial vehicles following a rise in fatal road accidents.
On the directives of Senior Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon, the Transport Department has directed authorities to take strict action against unfit vehicles operating across the province.
According to the department, many commercial vehicles in Sindh have fitness certificates issued by Motor Vehicle Inspectors (MVIs) from other provinces without proper physical inspection.
This loophole has allowed unsafe vehicles to operate on Sindh’s roads, increasing the risk of accidents.
Minister Memon stated that vehicles registered in other provinces but operating permanently in Sindh must now obtain fitness certificates from Sindh’s MVIs.
These certificates will include modern security features such as QR codes. Additionally, all commercial vehicle drivers must hold valid driving licenses.
At the time of issuing or renewing route permits, transporters will be required to present valid fitness certificates with QR codes to ensure compliance.
The Sindh government aims to improve road safety by enforcing transparent fitness certification for all commercial vehicles operating in the province.
