ISLAMABAD, Jan 02 (APP):With only 13 days remaining before enforcement begins, Islamabad’s vehicle registration drive under the M-Tag system has gained pace. In the last 24 hours, over 6,000 vehicles were fitted with M-Tags at 16 service points operating across the federal capital. Officials said the total number of vehicles registered under the system has now crossed 118,000, as authorities prepare for full enforcement from January 15.
According to the administration, M-Tag services are continuing without interruption at all designated locations in the city. To handle the growing number of visitors, extra staff and sufficient stock have been arranged at each point. Officials said these steps aim to reduce waiting time and ensure that vehicle owners can complete the process before the deadline.
Deputy Commissioner Irfan Memon said that the administration has ensured the availability of both manpower and equipment at all centers. He added that teams are working daily to meet the rising demand as the deadline approaches.
The Deputy Commissioner of Islamabad has urged citizens to act responsibly and complete M-Tag registration for their vehicles before January 15. He said that timely registration will help avoid inconvenience once strict checks begin. The administration has repeated that there will be no relaxation after the deadline.
Officials have clearly stated that from January 15, vehicles without an M-Tag will not be allowed to enter the city. Checkpoints will be activated at entry points, and enforcement teams will be deployed to ensure compliance. The move is part of broader traffic and security management measures in the capital.
Authorities have advised vehicle owners not to wait until the final days, as the rush may increase closer to the deadline. Citizens are encouraged to visit the nearest M-Tag center during working hours to complete the process smoothly.
The M-Tag system is being implemented to manage vehicle movement and improve monitoring within Islamabad. With the deadline drawing near, officials expect daily registration numbers to rise further.
Residents are once again reminded that registering vehicles before January 15 is mandatory. After that date, vehicles without M-Tags will face restrictions, and entry into the capital will not be permitted under any circumstances, according to the district administration.
