KARACHI, Nov 20: The Sindh government has proposed an amendment to the West Pakistan Motor Vehicles Rules, 1969.

The proposed amendment reads as under:

“In Rule 155, after sub-rule (2), the following shall be added: “(30), “The Auto Rickshaw owners shall use the prescribed silencers having embossed registration number of the rickshaws thereon to avoid re-use of one silencer in different or other rickshaws for the purpose of getting fitness certificate.”
