LAHORE(By our Bureau Chief))Punjab government has started
work on a new project for eliminating terrorism from the province in accordance
with the instructions of Chief Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif. Senior Member Special
Monitoring Unit Law & Order, Salman Sufi told that Punjab government has
evolved a comprehensive plan for elimination of fake number plates helping in assisting
terrorism. Special Monitoring Unit Chief Minister’ Office and Excise &
Taxation Department have launched a programme “Transport Facility Programme”
which includes dealer registration of vehicles, purchase of coordinated
transportation system, RFID technology and vanity plates. He said that these
plans will not only bring innovation in existing system but also stop to come un-registered
vehicles to come on roads and give access to law enforcement agencies to the
relevant material in a limited time period. Therefore, keeping in view the
recommendations of special monitoring unit, Excise & Taxation Department
has issued Provincial Motor Vehicle Ordinance with the consent of Governor Punjab,
under which, it will be compulsory for vehicle owners to fix approved number
plates at their vehicles. A maximum of one year and minimum of seven days imprisonment
besides a fine of 15 thousand to one lakh rupees will be imposed to those making
fake number plates, maximum of two years and minimum of 15 days imprisonment
and a fine from 30 thousand to one lakh rupees will be imposed in case of damaging
the patch issued by the number plate or the authority. It is worth mentioning
that transport facility programme is another people-friendly project of
Khadim-e-Aala Punjab, which will not only help eliminate bogus number plates
but Punjab will also be made safer for citizens and crime-free province.
