ISLAMABAD: Officials of the Excise Department have launched a major facility for owners of Islamabad-registered vehicles across the country.

An official of the department on Monday said from now onwards there would be no need to bring an Islamabad-registered vehicle for physical checking to the city at the time of transfer.

Physical checking of vehicles with a number plate from Islamabad will now be possible in four major cities of Punjab.

In the first phase, checking will be done in Lahore, Multan, Bahawalpur and Faisalabad. In the second phase, the facility would be provided in Karachi and Quetta. Islamabad Excise staff has started giving regular training to Punjab Excise staff.
