Plying in fleets across most major and minor thoroughfares of the city, three-wheelers known as loader rickshaws are fast becoming a threat to Rawalpindi’s road-safety. However, given the local administration’s callousness, loader rickshaws have been left unchecked to run on the city’s streets. According to a survey conducted by The Express Tribune, there are over 5,00 loader rickshaws without license plates and registration copies, which regularly tool along Rawalpindi’s highways. Legally speaking, these loader rickshaws are illegal and for a very good reason. The government should take note of this and work towards creating safer roads.”Published in The Express Tribune, Septe0mber 28th, 2020.
