A foreign company responsible for vehicle inspection in the province could not open after the coronavirus lockdown imposed in March this year. The Punjab Transport Department had extended the fitness certificates of thousands of vehicles without checking for six months. The foreign company’s system had not been able to achieve significant success in vehicle inspection and certification in the province. Thus, there was practically no system of vehicle inspection and fitness in Punjab for the last eight months. In this regard, Punjab Transport Minister Jahanzeb Khan Khichi said the purpose of establishing VICS was to make transport fitness in the province of international standard.
