In a move to control the rising number of accidents, Sindh police have announced a strict crackdown on unlicensed drivers in Karachi.
Speaking to the news channel here in Karachi, IG Sindh Ghulam Nabi Memon asserted that the cars and motorcycles of the driver without valid licenses will be impounded.
He highlighted that untrained driving as a primary cause of traffic congestion and stressed that such negligence would no longer be tolerated.
Additionally, traffic police also introduced a new system under which the repeat offenders will face cases after two challans.
The IG also discussed measures like e-tagging to monitor habitual offenders.
He warned that SHOs failing to register cases would face dismissal, and SSPs would be held responsible for lapses in case registration.
Addressing crime rate, Memon reported that Sindh Police arrested 21,000 suspects in 2024, including operations against “Kacha robbers” who kidnapped 355 citizens.
“Police successfully rescued 344 hostages, with efforts underway to recover the remaining 11,” he added.
