Karachi’s rising fatalities due to reckless dumper truck accidents have led to the immediate transfer of DIG Traffic Ahmed Nawaz Cheema.
The Sindh government, responding to public outcry over increasing road accidents, has issued new directives, appointing Pir Muhammad Shah as the new DIG Traffic Karachi.
Meanwhile, Cheema has been ordered to report to the Central Police Office. In a high-level meeting chaired by Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah, a series of strict traffic regulations were introduced.
A major decision mandates fitness certificates for all vehicles operating in Sindh, aiming to curb accidents caused by unfit vehicles.
Additionally, the entry timings of heavy dumpers into Karachi have been revised — these vehicles will now only be allowed on city roads from 10pm to 6am.
The meeting, held at the Chief Minister’s House, was attended by key officials, including Senior Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon, Local Government Minister Saeed Ghani, Excise Minister Mukesh Kumar Chawla, Home Minister Ziaul Hassan Lanjar, Karachi Mayor Murtaza Wahab, and senior police officials.
Expressing concern over the surge in traffic accidents, the Chief Minister directed strict enforcement of traffic laws and vehicle regulations.
