Karachi (Web Desk): Karachi police have given citizens a short relief by extending the deadline for installing government-approved vehicle number plates.

The new final date is now April 1, giving vehicle owners two extra days to follow the rules. The decision was announced by Additional Inspector General Azad Khan to help people who are still trying to get official number plates.

Authorities said this step is meant to make compliance easier before strict action begins. Police have made it clear that after April 1, a full crackdown will start across the city. Vehicles with fancy, decorative, or unapproved number plates will face legal action without any leniency.

Officials also warned that drivers without a valid driving license will be targeted during this campaign. The enforcement drive will focus on improving road safety and proper identification of vehicles.

According to police, unapproved number plates create serious security risks as they make it difficult to identify vehicles involved in crimes. That is why authorities are now taking stricter steps to enforce the law.

Citizens have been strongly advised to install official number plates before the deadline to avoid fines and legal trouble once the crackdown begins.
