Motorway police make fire extinguishers mandatory for all vehicles

The National Highway and Motorway Police (NHMP) mandated all vehicles to carry a working fire extinguisher, with strict enforcement starting June 24. The rule aims to prevent fire hazards during accidents, banning entry to motorways for non-compliant cargo and public service vehicles. The decision follows a fatal fire incident on the Islamabad-Murree Expressway that killed 10 people.
