Sindh Police Crack Down on Vehicles Without Number Plates | Province-Wide Operation 2025

Sindh Police have started a strict province-wide operation against vehicles running without number plates and drivers without valid licenses. The orders came directly from IGP Sindh Ghulam Nabi Memon (earlier reports mentioned Zubair Nazir Ahmed Shaikh, but current IGP is Ghulam Nabi Memon) on December 4, 2025, and the campaign is now in full swing.

What’s Happening on the Ground

Police teams are stopping bikes, cars, rickshaws, and even trucks that have no number plates or fake plates. Drivers who cannot show a proper driving license are also being booked on the spot.

If your vehicle has no plates, officers can seize it under Section 550 CrPC. That means the vehicle goes to the police station until the owner completes all legal requirements and pays the fine.

The operation is running in every district: Karachi, Hyderabad, Sukkur, Larkana, Mirpurkhas, Shaheed Benazirabad, and all smaller towns too. No area has been left out.

Why This Crackdown Started Now

Everyone knows the roads in Sindh have become dangerous. Many street crimes happen with bikers who use vehicles without plates. Robbers snatch phones and bags, and within seconds they disappear because police cannot trace the bike.

Unlicensed drivers cause accidents almost daily. Young boys ride bikes at high speed without knowing traffic rules, and families lose loved ones because of it.

The IGP said enough is enough. He wants every vehicle on the road to be registered and every driver to have a proper license. Only then can police trace criminals quickly and make roads safer for ordinary people.

What Police Are Doing Differently This Time

This is not just a one-day show. Senior officers have been told to send daily reports about how many vehicles were stopped, how many were seized, and how many challans were issued. When bosses ask for numbers every single day, the ground staff cannot relax.

Checkposts have increased on main highways and inside cities. Traffic police and local SHOs are working together. Even at night, teams are active.

What Owners and Drivers Need to Do Right Now

If your bike or car has no number plates, get them fixed immediately. Go to the Excise office, pay your token tax, and get proper plates.

If you have been driving on a learner’s permit for years or have no license at all, book a test and get a proper license. It’s not difficult, and it can save you from heavy fines or having your vehicle taken away.

Many people keep saying “it will happen later.” That later has now arrived.

Early Results Already Showing

In just the first three days, hundreds of bikes and dozens of cars have been impounded in Karachi alone. Similar numbers are coming from Hyderabad and Sukkur. People who thought they could keep driving without plates forever are suddenly rushing to get their papers in order.

This pressure is exactly what was needed. When people see their neighbor’s bike taken away, they quickly go and fix their own documents.

This Is About Safety, Not Just Punishment

Yes, fines will be collected, and vehicles will be seized. But the real goal is simple: make the roads safer for you, your children, and everyone else.

When every vehicle has a proper number plate, criminals will find it harder to use bikes for robbery. When every driver has a license, there will be fewer accidents caused by untrained riders.

Sindh Police deserve credit for finally taking this step seriously. Now it’s up to the public to cooperate. Get your plates. Get your license. Follow the rules.

Because no one wants to be the person who lost a brother, sister, or child just because someone else was too lazy to put a number plate on their bike.

The crackdown is here. It’s strict. And it’s not going away anytime soon.
