Government’s response to growing accidents

The Higher Minister of Sindh, Sharjeel Inam Memon, addressed the media on Thursday concerning the measures taken by the provincial government to combat the growing number of road accidents. A meeting, chaired by the chief minister, led to the making of several decisions.

The Sindh government has forced the physical form and the registration of all heavy traffic vehicles. To move forward, all large transport vehicles must have a fitness certificate valid to operate on the roads. Vehicles without appropriate certification will be prohibited from using.

Memon said that the Water Commission has also implemented a barcode system for all registered oil tankers operating from authorized fire fires. Only vehicles that meet the required fitness standards are issued by bar codes and all unregistered vehicles will be seized.

In addition, previously registered vehicles will have a reassessment to ensure continuous compliance of safety regulations.

A 30 -day grace period was granted for heavy traffic vehicles to obtain fitness certificates.

In addition, operational hours for hard trucks in Karachi have been revised. Previously authorized on roads from 11 p.m. to 6 p.m., waste will now be authorized only from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. to facilitate congestion and improve public security.

Speaking on PK Press Club News “PK Press Club Pakistan” program today, Memon said it was incorrect to blame a single person or an institution for all road accidents.

He stressed that the responsibility is the responsibility of everyone, including the government, the negligent drivers and those who violate traffic laws.

He added that orders concerning the physical form of vehicles are not new and that the government plans to outsource the transport service.
