The Sindh government has extended the deadline for replacing old vehicle number plates with the new Ajrak-themed plates by two months, according to a notification.

Earlier in August, the Sindh government had already extended the deadline to October 31 on the instructions of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari, who had directed authorities to ensure a wider rollout of the new culturally inspired plates across the province.

The new Ajrak plates are part of a broader initiative to modernise vehicle registration while showcasing Sindh’s rich cultural heritage.
