 KARACHI; As many as 500 CNG buses would be plied in Karachi and other parts of the province in the first phase. This was announced by Sindh Minister for Transport, Akhtar Hussain Jadoon, and here on Sunday.

He said that this would help provide an affordable and comfortable mode of transport to the people.

The Minister pointed out that the Transport Department was constructing bus terminals in Karachi and other cities in the province.

He further pointed out that basic facilities would be made available at these terminals.

Akhtar Jadoon informed that route permits of all commercial vehicles in the province are being computerised and peculiar stickers are being introduced which will promptly detect those vehicles that have not paid taxes.

He said that the Sindh Government has given a tax target of Rs70 million to the Transport Department.

The Minister directed the District Officers to ensure that the target is met. He also asked the officers to initiate the checking of vehicles in their respective districts and impose fine on those which do not possess route permits.
