“As a result, the ETO staff identified 30 tampered with vehicles and impounded them. All the vehicles were later given to the Rawalpindi police for handing over to their actual owners,” he added.

Bilal Azam also said the auto-thieves tampered with the engine and chassis numbers of vehicles and brought them to the ETO for registration.

Referring to the E-court system, he said that they have started the e-court system, in which all kinds of issues related to the registration of citizens will be resolved immediately. “We are also launching an online tax system that will benefit citizens and enable them to pay their car taxes at home,” he added.
