Earlier, the Punjab government took a ‘significant’ step towards reducing environmental pollution and promoting road safety by making vehicle fitness certificates mandatory for all public service vehicles operating in the province.

The move, approved by Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz’s cabinet, aims to tackle the intensifying smog issue and ensure that vehicles plying on public roads meet minimum safety and emission standards.

According to the Punjab Motor Vehicle Ordinance 1965 and Motor Vehicle Rule 1969, all types of public service vehicles, including heavy-duty, light-duty, and rickshaws, must obtain a fitness certificate from the Vehicle Inspection and Certification System (VICS).
