The Excise Department has intensified its campaign against vehicles carrying unauthorised number plates and a large-scale operation has been ordered across the federal capital to curb the use of non-standard and fancy number plates on vehicles.
In this regard, Islamabad Excise Director-General, Irfan Memon, issued strict instructions to the department's field teams to take immediate action against violators, making it clear that only number plates issued by the department are permitted for use, and any other plates are unacceptable under the law.
During a review meeting, the DG directed officials to increase their operations citywide and ordered that any vehicle found using non-standard or fancy number plates should not only be fined heavily but also taken off the road immediately.
"The crackdown will target vehicles using plates with unique designs, modified formats, or personalised inscriptions that differ from the standard format approved by the Excise Department."
"The Excise Department's authorised number plate is the only valid plate allowed on vehicles in Islamabad," stated DG Irfan Memon. "Any vehicle found violating this rule will face strict penalties, including on-the-spot impoundment."
He further emphasised that the objective of this campaign is to enforce the law uniformly and ensure that all vehicles display plates that conform to the prescribed format. "Citizens are urged to remove any fancy or unauthorised number plates immediately to avoid penalties and vehicle impoundment," Memon appealed.
