The major problem we have is in industrial world , the Trucks that are transporting goods are registered under companies
and proper Corporations

In Pakistan we have these independent owners , who are un registered and they operate under no real mandate , who gives them money they will carry the load...

We need to impose bans on these Trucks (independent , undocumented trucks)

sindh/punjab border should be carefully guarded, 90% of the terrorism in sindh and karachi will be eliminated

FENCE THE BORDER , and SECURITY checks for all Trucks

60-80 Fleet of UAV

We urgently need policy of
FENCE - PATROL - AIR PATROL
