Sindh police has launched an operation against motorists using bogus green and blue government license plates. The police will monitor different roads in Karachi and punish anyone found running a vehicle with a fake or unauthorised registration plate.
Following the Inspector-General’s (IG) directives, Sindh Ghulam Nabi Memon Sindh Police have started a campaign against those who have phoney green and blue number plates on their cars.
The IG gave the go-ahead to commence a crackdown on bogus green and blue license plates on July 25, but monsoon rains caused the operation to be postponed.
According to the IG, it is illegal and punishable by law to use a blue or green number plate on a private car. He stated that all district police officers have been told to conduct strict operations against fake license plates.
Following the IG’s directives, the Traffic Police started conducting spot checks on Muhammad Ali Jinnah Road in Karachi.
A recent report from ARY News claims that a speeding vehicle that was using a phoney green license plate attempted to run over a traffic police officer when it was pulled over for inspection.

The behind the scenes photos and videos of Vogue’s photo shoot with Zelensky do not encourage me to care more about the war in Ukraine. Probably less, in fact.

Shyja, a 35-year-old Indian woman from Kerala, is making headlines for flaunting her moustache proudly.
“I love my moustache,” her WhatsApp status section reads. “All I can say is that I just like it. A lot.”
“I can’t imagine living without it now. When the Covid pandemic started, I disliked wearing a mask all the time because it covered my face,” Shyja added.
“I’ve never felt that I’m not beautiful because I have this or that it’s something I shouldn’t have.”
Talking about her love for her moustache, Shyja said, “I just do what I like. If I had two lives, maybe I’d live one for others.”
Shyja has battled many health problems. She had six surgeries in the last decade, one to remove a lump in her breast and another to remove cysts in her ovary. Her most recent procedure was a hysterectomy five years ago.
“Each time I came out of surgery, I would hope that I never had to go back into an operation theatre again,” she says.
Shyja’s family and friends are supportive of her choices. Her daughter frequently tells her that she looks good with a moustache. However, Shyja claims she has received a variety of comments from people.
“People make fun of me saying, ‘It’s men who have moustaches, why would a woman have one?’”
Shyja’s friends frequently respond angrily to these comments on Facebook, but she says it doesn’t upset her at all.
