Islamabad Deputy Commissioner Irfan Nawaz Memon announced that vehicles without M-Tag will not be allowed to enter the federal capital, urging citizens to register their vehicles in advance to avoid inconvenience.
He said the restriction will come into force from January 1, 2026, after which vehicles without M-Tags will face action at city entry points and checkpoints. The deputy commissioner requested citizens to visit any of the 16 M-Tag registration centers operating across Islamabad to get their vehicles tagged.
According to the district administration, installing M-Tags on all vehicles is essential to improve security and traffic management in the city. A total of 95,369 vehicles have already been issued M-Tags, including 1,235 vehicles in the last 24 hours.
The administration further stated that the installation of M-Tag readers at Islamabad’s entry points and various checkposts is partially complete, and enforcement will begin once the system becomes fully operational.
Citizens were advised to ensure timely registration to avoid restrictions on vehicle entry into Islamabad.
