Karachi Traffic Police Ban Heavy Vehicles Without Tracking System 2025

Karachi traffic police have banned dumpers and water tankers from entering the city limits 24 hours a day. The only vehicles allowed are those fitted with an approved vehicle tracking system.

The order came right after a fatal accident on the National Highway where an overloaded dumper crushed a rickshaw, killing the driver instantly.

New Rules Start Immediately

DIG Traffic Iqbal Dara held an emergency meeting and gave clear instructions: no heavy vehicle moves inside Karachi without active TRCS registration.

Officers at every entry point now check the tracking system first. If the vehicle is not showing live on the TRCS monitor, it gets turned back or receives an on-the-spot e-challan.

The dumper involved in the recent Karachi accident has already been hit with a record Rs100,000 fine through the e-challan system the highest penalty issued so far.

Why Karachi Roads Are Getting Stricter in 2025

Road accidents in Karachi have spiked this year. Most serious crashes involve dumpers, trailers, and water tankers running red lights, speeding, or driving without fitness certificates.

The new vehicle tracking requirement lets police monitor speed and route in real time. Any violation triggers an instant alert.

What Owners Need to Do Right Now

Every dumper and tanker working in Karachi must install the approved GPS tracker and complete TRCS registration. Police have set up checking points on:

• Super Highway

• National Highway

• RCD Highway

• Hub entry routes

Teams work round the clock. Day or night, the rule stays the same.

One Change That Can Save Lives

Fitting a tracker costs a few thousand rupees and takes less than an hour. Compare that to the price families pay when a loved one never comes home.

Karachi traffic police say the goal is simple: fewer funerals and safer roads for everyone in 2025.
