He said it would not be possible to forge a number plate like this as it would have a chip installed in it with complete data of the vehicle. The motorway police and traffic police in the cities would be able to check data of the vehicles through the speed gun as the technology would improve, he added.
The number plate has a layer of ajrak design and logo of Quaid’s Mausoleum.
Shoaib Ahmed Siddiqui said that the provincial cabinet had given green light for installation of the plates with several security features.
About seven million vehicles were registered with the Sindh Excise and Taxation Department across the province, he apprised.
