Sindh Chief Secretary Asif Haider announced that penalties and punishments for traffic violations will be increased as part of upcoming reforms to improve traffic regulation across the province.
The announcement came during a high-level meeting on traffic law reforms held at the Central Police Office (CPO) in Karachi.
The meeting was attended by Inspector General of Sindh Police Ghulam Nabi Memon, Karachi Commissioner, and other senior officials.
The forum approved several amendments to the Motor Vehicle Ordinance 1965. DIG Traffic and the Secretary Transport briefed attendees on the proposed reforms, which include significant fines for violations ranging from motorcycles to heavy transport vehicles, and a mandatory driving course for new drivers.
One key proposal suggested reducing the vehicle registration period from six months to just one month.
