NORTH WAZIRISTAN: The administration of North Waziristan tribal district has asked general public to register their non-custom paid (NCP) vehicles by October 15.

It has been decided that non-custom paid vehicles, including cars and motorcycles, would not be given permission to be driven on the roads across the district. The police have been informed in this regard.

Under the new directives, local people would register their vehicles with the administration by October 15.
