Punjab to remove unclaimed, confiscated vehicles from cities

Punjab to remove unclaimed, confiscated vehicles from cities

The Punjab government has ordered the removal of all unclaimed, confiscated, and scrapped vehicles from city areas.

These vehicles, which are currently parked in police stations, traffic police yards, and along city roads, will be moved to designated yards outside city limits within 30 days.

This move aims to improve public safety, sanitation, and traffic management.

The presence of these vehicles poses fire hazards, breeds mosquitoes, and contaminates soil and groundwater.

Joint teams of police, municipal corporations, and other authorities will conduct a survey and ensure the timely execution of this order.

The government has assured that all legal procedures will be followed, and vehicle owners will be given the opportunity to claim their vehicles.

Citizens are urged to cooperate and resolve the status of abandoned vehicles.
