KARACHI: Following the orders of the Sindh High Court (SHC), police on Friday have launched action against the underage drivers in Karachi.

Deputy Inspector General (DIG) Traffic police Iqbal Dara has released notification regarding action against drivers below the age of 18 years. He has directed the traffic officials to launch a drive against the parents and the underage drivers in Karachi.
