ISLAMABAD: The second phase of the motorcycle M-Tag campaign is currently being executed in Islamabad which aims to enhance the security of the city.
DG Excise Irfan Memon announced that February 28 is the final date for motorcycle owners to register their vehicles with M-Tags. He warned that motorcycles without M-Tags will face penalties starting March 1 and unregistered motorcycles will be taken to designated police facilities.
