The Sindh government has announced a ban on the entry of dumpers in Karachi during the daytime, effective immediately.
According to the decision, dumpers will only be allowed to enter the city between 11:00 PM and 6:00 AM.
This measure aims to curb the rising number of road accidents caused by heavy vehicles and to improve traffic flow in the city.
Chief Secretary Sindh Asif Hyder Shah convened an emergency meeting to discuss address traffic-related concerns.
The meeting was attended by Inspector General Sindh Police, Commissioner Karachi, Additional IG Karachi, Secretary Transport, DIG Traffic, and other officials.
It was decided that all large vehicles and their drivers would undergo physical verification to ensure compliance with safety regulations.
Additionally, all vehicles operating in Karachi must obtain a QR Code-certified certificate from the Transport Department.
The Sindh Solid Waste Management Board has been instructed to shift its operations to night time within three months.
