KARACHI: The Sindh police have blacklisted 40,000 vehicles under the Safe City project and will begin enforcement actions starting July 1, officials announced Monday.

Authorities said the blacklist has been finalized. Affected vehicles may be impounded, and owners could face fines.

The Sindh police advised citizens to check their vehicle details immediately through the official police portal. Owners whose vehicles appear on the list are urged to complete ownership transfers before the July 1 deadline.
