LAHORE (Dunya News) - The Punjab government has made annual fitness certification mandatory for private vehicles across the province, introducing a new compliance requirement that could affect millions of motorists.
Under the new requirement, private vehicle owners will have to get their vehicles tested for roadworthiness every year and obtain a valid fitness certificate.
Motorists found driving without the required certificate could initially face a fine. Continued non-compliance may result in the vehicle being impounded, according to details reported about the measure.
