The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) government has introduced new number plates for government and private vehicles.
The KP government has decided to replace the number plates of all vehicles across the province with new RFID-enabled plates.
According to the Excise Department, the new plates will feature radio-frequency identification (RFID) stickers, allowing authorities to identify and track vehicles more efficiently.
Officials said the existing number plates are issued for Rs1,200, while the new RFID-enabled plates will cost Rs4,000.
The technology is expected to improve vehicle records, help identify stolen or suspicious vehicles and strengthen traffic management.
The new plates will be introduced for government and private vehicles in phases. Further details about the rollout are expected to be announced by the authorities.
Separately, the district administration in Upper Swat has announced a comprehensive survey of boats following an increase in boat accidents in the popular tourist area.
Officials said the survey would assess the fitness, safety arrangements and overall condition of boats operating at different locations.
Authorities will also determine whether the boats meet prescribed safety standards and identify those that may pose risks to tourists.
