#HEAVY TRAFFIC REGISTRATION#
He said the traffic police had taken action against vehicle owners for violating the traffic laws, including plying vehicles with tinted glasses, and using pressure horns, fancy registration number plates, hooters and revolving lights. The traffic police chief said that 15 checkpoints had been set up with a deployment of 150 officials in all districts’ entry points to ensure that no heavy traffic is allowed to enter the city during the prohibited timings.
The chief secretary had earlier filed a progress report with regard to the implementation of the court’s orders, saying that the city commissioner had conducted a meeting with all the stakeholders to regulate and control the number of passenger buses and coaches, the issuance of intercity permits, the parking of vehicles, the removal of encroachments on roads and the demolition of illegal bus terminals in Sohrab Goth. The bench directed the relevant parties, including the city commissioner, to file a brief statement for the purpose of implementing the orders already passed by the Supreme Court and the SHC in the instant matter so that an appropriate order may be passed on the next date of hearing. The counsel for the Karachi Development Authority sought a short adjournment to call the relevant officer from the engineering department and to submit their comments in the light of the court’s various orders. The bench directed the Board of Revenue land utilisation member to file comments on the allotment of 30 acres for the construction of a bus terminal near the Lyari Expressway. Hearing the petitions about the plying of heavy vehicles on roads and in residential areas during day-time, an SHC division bench headed by Justice Aqeel Ahmed Abbasi also directed the provincial law officer to file a statement about essential commodities so that the court’s order may be clarified for the purpose of implementation.
