PESHAWAR (Dunya News) – Be it a case of target killing or a petty street crime, it seems that the two wheeled motorcycle has been nominated as the vehicle of choice for terrorists and criminals for its convenience in navigating through narrow streets and traffic.

In order to stop the use of motorcycles in such heinous crimes, KP Police has started a campaign for creating a database of all motorcycles present in the province and a collection of data of their owners.

According to police records, more than 38000 motorbike owners have been advised to fix license plates on their vehicles.
