ISLAMABAD: Islamabad Police has constituted special squads to take action against amateur drivers and one-wheelers. Following the special directions of IGP Islamabad, Syed Ali Nasir Rizvi, Islamabad Police intensified the crackdown against amateur drivers and those who were not following the traffic rules and involved in one wheeling.
In this regard, all Zonal DSPs were strictly directed to take stern action against amateur drivers and one-wheelers to ensure steps for a safe road environment in the city and ensure renewed efforts for awareness about traffic rules among citizens by Islamabad Police education wing.
Islamabad Police teams are also directed to visit educational institutions to create traffic sense as several students have joined Islamabad Police as traffic volunteers.
The purpose of action against amateur drivers and one-wheelers is to ensure their own safety as it should not be considered a punitive measure.
