Illegal Rickshaw Mafia Exposed in Punjab | Na Qanooni Workshop Band | Full Operation Footage

Описание: Illegal Rickshaw Manufacturing Exposed: Full Details of the Punjab Operation

In this in-depth report, we uncover the dangerous and widespread issue of illegal rickshaw manufacturing in Punjab, Pakistan. This growing menace is not just a threat to traffic rules but also to public safety, environmental stability, and the legal structure of vehicle manufacturing and registration.

🔧 What is Illegal Rickshaw Manufacturing?

Illegal rickshaws are created by attaching fabricated or locally welded "rickshaw bodies" to often stolen motorcycles, especially 70cc or 125cc bikes. These makeshift vehicles lack proper documentation, road fitness, safety compliance, or any legal authorization. This dangerous practice has resulted in:

A surge in road accidents involving these poorly built rickshaws

Environmental pollution due to unregulated emissions

Exploitation of poor individuals who purchase these rickshaws unaware of their illegal status

A thriving black market of vehicle body parts and stolen bikes

🏛️ Crackdown by Punjab Authorities

The latest operations, especially in Shalimar Tehsil, Lahore, have revealed just how deep-rooted and organized this industry has become. The Assistant Commissioner, in coordination with Traffic Police, Local Law Enforcement, LESCO, and Municipal Committees, launched targeted operations to shut down illegal workshops.

Footage shows the confiscation of rickshaw bodies, welding tools, and frames. Officials reiterated that these operations are not against the poor, but rather a move to protect them from future legal and financial issues.

"Yeh operation kisi gareeb ke khilaaf nahi hai, yeh illegal activity ke khilaaf hai jo unki zindagi ko aur bhi mushkil banati hai." — Enforcement Official

🔒 Legal Challenges and Resistance

Despite several First Information Reports (FIRs) being filed and multiple workshops being sealed, many workshop owners continue to defy orders. Their primary argument? "We have invested lakhs in this business. We demand either legalization or alternative employment." However, officials confirm that legalizing such unregulated and dangerous practices is not possible.

The workshop owners also get local support, making enforcement even more challenging. From blocking roads to physically resisting officials, these operations are not without risk. One incident even involved verbal and physical altercations between workshop staff and authorities.

📉 Economic & Environmental Impact

These illegal rickshaws may seem affordable, but they come at a hidden cost:

No insurance or protection for buyers

High maintenance cost due to poor build quality

Increased pollution levels

Accidents due to lack of brakes, suspension, or weight balance

🛍️ The Human Element

Many buyers of these rickshaws are unaware of the legal implications. They are poor individuals trying to earn a living. However, when they are stopped by traffic police, they face heavy fines, impoundment, or even arrest. In such cases, workshop owners are nowhere to be found, and the buyer is left to suffer alone.

"Logon ko sasti sawari milti hai, lekin jab woh road par pakray jaate hain, unko pata chalta hai ke unka rickshaw illegal hai." — Local Resident

🏢 Future of Legal Reform

The crackdown has highlighted the lack of a clear legal framework regarding three-wheeler conversions. Authorities are urging lawmakers to:

Introduce stricter penalties for illegal manufacturing

Launch awareness campaigns in local communities

Create affordable and legal alternatives for small transport workers

⚡ Conclusion: What Can You Do?

Illegal rickshaw manufacturing is not just a "Punjab" issue—it's a national problem. If you're someone looking to buy a rickshaw:

Always verify the registration and documentation

Avoid deals that sound "too good to be true"

Demand receipts and NOC (No Objection Certificates)
