ISLAMABAD, Dec 22 (APP): The Islamabad district administration has expanded the number of M-Tag points across the federal capital to 16 as the administration reported that 88,634 vehicles have been tagged since 14 November, including 2,300 vehicles in the last 24 hours.
According to the spokesman of ICT administration here, the addition of three new points has raised the total number of M-Tag centres to 16, making it easier for residents to get their vehicles tagged.
According to official figures, a total of 88,634 vehicles have been fitted with M-Tags since the start of the drive on 14 November. During the past 24 hours alone, M-Tags were installed on 2,300 vehicles, showing a steady daily increase in participation.
Deputy Commissioner Islamabad Irfan Memon said the administration is committed to making the city safer through better identification and monitoring of vehicles. He urged citizens to get M-Tags installed at the earliest to avoid inconvenience once enforcement measures begin.
The M-Tag system allows authorities to identify vehicles through electronic readers installed at city entry points and other key locations. The deputy commissioner confirmed that the installation of tag readers has been completed across Islamabad, including major entry and exit routes.
“With the readers now in place, vehicles without M-Tags will face legal action once the system becomes fully functional,” he said, adding that the administration has already provided enough facilities for citizens to comply with the requirement.
Officials said the increase in M-Tag points was aimed at reducing waiting times and improving access in different parts of the city. Residents can now visit nearby centres instead of travelling long distances, which has helped raise daily tagging numbers.
The district administration stated that the M-Tag initiative is part of a broader effort to manage traffic flow, improve security checks, and maintain records of vehicles entering and moving within the capital. Authorities believe the system will help track vehicles more effectively and support law enforcement when required.
Officials also noted that public response has improved following awareness efforts and the expansion of facilities. The administration expects the number of tagged vehicles to continue rising as more people comply before enforcement begins.
Deputy Commissioner Irfan Memon appealed to vehicle owners who have not yet registered for M-Tags to do so without delay. He said early compliance would help avoid penalties and ensure uninterrupted travel across the city.
