He explained that the measure is aimed at preventing various illegal activities carried out using motor vehicles and protecting the public from fraudulent practices.

The Department emphasised the importance of following the official vehicle ownership transfer process to prevent vehicles from being misused for unlawful activities. (Newswire)
