In a recent initiative, the Transport Department of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa cracked down on vehicles emitting smoke in the province. During the month of November, a total of 14,224 vehicles underwent smoke testing in the laboratory. Out of these, 7,884 vehicles successfully passed the emission test and were issued certificates, while 6,340 vehicles were penalized through challans, leading to the confiscation of documents from their drivers.

The department emphasized the importance of compliance, issuing orders for vehicle owners to obtain certificates within a week to ensure adherence to emission standards. The Vehicle Emission Testing Station (VETS) Peshawar, in its monthly report, revealed that Peshawar district witnessed checks on 5,315 vehicles, with 2,264 vehicles passing the test and 3,050 drivers received challans for excessive smoke emissions.
