This move comes in response to the growing concern over the use of such vehicles in facilitating criminal activities within the capital city.
Authorities have reported impounding over 30 vehicles as the crackdown intensifies. The operation aims to curb the misuse of vehicles that obscure driver identification and license plates, making it difficult for law enforcement to track and apprehend suspects involved in various crimes.
