Sindh Inspector General of Police Javed Alam Odho announced strict action today. Vehicles without number plates will face serious consequences. The IGP confirmed that FIRs for vehicles without number plates will replace routine challans. Violators can no longer pay a small fine and move on. Police will register formal criminal cases instead. The crackdown has intensified across Karachi, with Safe City cameras identifying traffic violators.

Authorities are leveraging technology for effective monitoring. The number of surveillance cameras in Karachi has increased significantly, rising from 30,000 to 40,000. The IGP urged traders and citizens to install additional cameras to further strengthen the city’s monitoring system. The move to issue FIRs for vehicles without number plates aims to improve compliance with traffic regulations. Enhanced road safety across the province remains the ultimate goal.

Sindh has also aligned its e-challan fines with Punjab’s rates. Penalties in Punjab have recently increased further. The IGP spoke about ongoing enforcement efforts during a media briefing. Police will use the expanded camera network to catch offenders. Missing number plates will no longer escape unnoticed. The technology sees everything.

Drivers should check their vehicles immediately. A missing front or rear plate now carries serious legal risk. FIRs create criminal records, not just financial penalties. Sindh Police will enforce this rule without exception.
