KARACHI: The Excise Department of Sindh has decided to introduce new, technologically advanced number plates for vehicles and motorbikes with Ajrak logos by the year 2020.

According to an official of the provincial government, Secretary Excise Abdul Haleem Shaikh has ordered the manufacturing of such number plates, installed with chips and Ajrak logos, for 300,000 vehicles and motorbikes in the first phase.

“These [modern number plates] would be scanned and give all details about the vehicle including its owner. Those stealing vehicles will also be caught by this initiative,” said the secretary.

However, this idea is yet to be approved by the chief minister Sindh Syed Murad Ali Shah and the provincial cabinet.
