Islamabad has introduced two new M-Tag installation counters to manage the rising demand for registration. The move aims to ease public inconvenience and reduce the long queues reported at existing locations. The setup also reflects the administration’s effort to improve access for both journalists and the general public.
Dedicated Counter Established for Journalists
A special counter has been set up at the Islamabad Press Club. It has been created to support media workers who often struggle to visit busy points during regular hours. Officials stated that the initiative was planned to offer a faster and more convenient process for journalists. The administration hopes the dedicated facility will help reduce crowding at other sites as well.
Additional Counter Introduced at Parade Ground
Another counter has opened at Parade Ground. This point has been launched to serve the wider public. Moreover, officials confirmed that the Director of Excise and Taxation is inspecting all installation sites. These visits help ensure smooth operations and timely service. With this step, the administration aims to improve the overall experience for M-Tag applicants.
Residents Advised to Avoid Overcrowded Points
Drivers have been urged to use the Parade Ground counter. The Kachnar Park I-8 location is currently facing heavy rush. Long waiting times and congestion have been reported there in recent days. Therefore, authorities recommend choosing the newly launched counters for faster completion. The expansion is designed to help distribute visitor flow more evenly.
Goal: Reduce Pressure and Improve Convenience
The administration believes the new facilities will help manage crowds and reduce delays. The number of people applying for M-Tags has increased sharply. As a result, existing sites were struggling to handle the load. With these new points, officials expect smoother traffic at all counters. The aim is to provide residents with more accessible options close to their areas.
A Step Toward Better Public Service Delivery
These changes reflect the ongoing efforts to modernize public services in the capital. The new counters offer more flexibility to applicants. In addition, they create a structured process for handling rising demand. The administration plans to continue monitoring the situation as footfall increases in coming days.
