Qingqi rickshaw banned in Karachi

KARACHI: Additional IG Traffic, Ghulam Qadir Thebo announced on Wednesday that motorcycle rickshaws have been banned in Karachi.

He said that the decision to ban the Qingqi rickshaws was taken after the disclosure that stolen motorcycles were being used in the rickshaws.

The AIG warned the owners not to bring their rickshaws on roads as orders had been sent to all the police stations to impound rickshaws and arrest their drivers in case of violation.

He said that the rickshaws were also causing difficulties in traffic flow. “It was illegal and we have started crackdown against motorcycle rickshaws,” he added
