ISLAMABAD: Following the special directives of IGP Islamabad, Syed Ali Nasir Rizvi, the Islamabad Traffic Police has launched a special campaign in the federal capital to facilitate government employees in obtaining their driving licenses.
Under this campaign, all employees of government departments will be given full support and services at traffic offices and mobile facilitation vans from September 17 to September 26. After this deadline, any government employee found driving without a valid license will face strict legal action without any discrimination.
Chief Traffic Officer (CTO) Islamabad, Capt. (retd) Hamzah Humayun stated that during ongoing operations against illegal parking in Secretariat Blocks, it was observed that a large number of government employees did not possess driving licenses for their vehicles and motorcycles.
He further added that as government employees, accountability must begin with ourselves before we can rightfully enforce the law on the public.
In this regard, ITP offices and all related resources will provide maximum assistance for license issuance until September 26.
After that date, no government employee, regardless of their department or rank, will be exempt from action.
Their vehicles may be impounded and departmental proceedings will also be initiated against them.
CTO Islamabad emphasized that this initiative will not only ensure compliance with the law but also play a vital role in making the traffic system more efficient and safe.
He urged all departments and officers to show responsibility and obtain their licenses on time.
