KARACHI (Lord Media): DIG Traffic Karachi, Pir Muhammad Shah, announced that only rickshaws equipped with meters will be allowed to operate in the city. He stated that a decision has been made to ban various types of rickshaws.
Speaking at the Karachi Press Club, DIG Pir Muhammad Shah mentioned that citizens are facing issues with e-challan, and a policy is being developed to address these problems. He noted that e-challans are auto-generated, which can lead to errors.
He further explained that efforts are underway to remove Qingqi rickshaws from main roads, and the operation of meter-equipped rickshaws has improved traffic flow. Last year, heavy traffic resulted in the loss of 164 lives.
