On the special directions of Chief Traffic Officer Islamabad Captain (R) Syed Zeeshan Haider the students visited the Islamabad Traffic Headquarters on the first day, where they were briefed on the working procedures of the department.
The ITP education wing guided the students through different branches of the traffic police including the licensing branch, central control room, education unit and other key departments.
Similarly, participants were also briefed on the modern technology equipped traffic management system, the digital licensing process and the automated system for issuing fines.
On this occasion, the students appreciated the technical advancements, transparency and public facilitation efforts of the ITP and expressed their commitment to working with the department in the enforcement of traffic laws, awareness campaigns and the promotion of road safety.
