The department has issued a circular to all government agencies, including police, health, education, and social welfare departments, instructing them to obtain certificates by January 31.
According to Director General Dr Irfan Ahmed Sheikh, inspections will begin on February 3, and vehicles emitting excessive smoke will face fines, with reports submitted to the Punjab chief secretary.
Non-compliance may result in departmental action.
Teams have been formed to conduct inspections, and fitness certificates will be issued by government workshops.
Agencies have been directed to repair or decommission non-compliant vehicles.
The initiative aims to promote an environment-friendly province, reduce pollution, and enhance the sustainability of government transport operations.
