ISLAMABAD: Vehicles without an M-tag will be banned from entering Islamabad from the 1st of next month, Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi announced during a visit to the Safe City headquarters.
According to an official report today, the minister made the declaration while directing officials to expedite work on the Capital Smart City project. He was accompanied by Minister of State for Interior Talal Chaudhary.
