Karachi authorities continued enforcing the citywide free parking policy as a Karachi traffic warden team took action on Shahrah-e-Faisal, arresting three individuals for illegally collecting parking fees.
The suspects were caught red-handed and handed over to the police. A case has been registered at Bahadurabad Police Station, and legal proceedings are underway.
Karachi Mayor Murtaza Wahab has instructed inspection teams to conduct regular checks and ensure full compliance with the free parking decision.
He reiterated that no compromise will be made on public interest and that implementation of the policy must be guaranteed.
Earlier, the Sindh government abolished parking charges on all roads across Karachi’s 25 towns, according to a notification issued by the local government department.
The move followed directives from Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah and formed part of a broader parking policy aimed at ensuring free public parking citywide.
A major relief for Karachiites by the Sindh Government!
