KABULI VEHICLES: CAMPAIGN SHOULD CONTINUE

The Government should continue the present campaign against the smuggled Kabuli vehicles which are being used by the terrorists, smugglers and criminals merely because there is no record of registration with the Government. For the past many days, there is a blessing with least pollution and no congestions on the main roads even during the peak hours merely because the smuggler Kabuli vehicles are off the roads. Even the Traffic police officials were found relaxed at the main commercial centre saying that there is no traffic jams in and around Mizan Chowk. There is no congestion. There is no arrogant owner of Kabuli vehicles insulting the traffic policemen publicly when asked not to park their vehicles in no parking zone. In some cases, the Traffic Police cops were abused as we personally witnessed on the roads. One can judge the huge number of smuggled Kabuli vehicles that had provided relief to the people by remaining off the road. The owners are interested merely because they were cheap and smuggled and there were no taxes and no duty paid to the Government. The Public Exchequer suffered huge financial losses because the border security guards allowed or ignored the smuggling of Kabul vehicles for their personal petty gains. The Government should tighten the border security and should not allow the smugglers to smuggle in imported goods, including vehicles from Afghanistan for better prices. We suggest that the Government should conduct raids the places where the smuggled Kabuli vehicles are kept by their owners. There are not on the roads. Only a few naïve people are bringing their smuggled Kabuli vehicles on road thus they are caught by the police and Excise officials.
