Furthermore, plans to introduce tracker chips for bikes demonstrate a proactive approach towards enhancing vehicle security.

The event, attended by senior officers including Secretary Excise Sindh Saleem Rajput and DG Excise Aurangzeb Akbar Panhwar, recognized exemplary staff for their contributions. This initiative signifies a significant leap towards modernizing public services in Sindh and improving the operational efficiency of the Excise Department.
