Islamabad:
Traffic director (CTO) Captain (RETD) Syed Zeeshan Haider has imposed a complete ban on the entrance to heavy vehicles, overloaded trucks and charger pousse in Islamabad. The scanning measure, imposed through the federal capital, aims to eliminate persistent problems of circulation congestion and fatal accidents caused by such vehicles.
A police spokesman said Thursday that the order was implemented as part of a broader initiative to improve the city’s traffic management system and ensure the security of citizens.
He said that additional traffic staff had been deployed on all roads and main intersections to regulate traffic and strictly enforce the prohibition. The vehicles noted against the violation of the new order will be seized and legal action will be taken against the drivers.
The CTO Haider added that the ITP had launched a zero tolerance policy against all forms of traffic violations, in particular the rupture of the signal, the speed, the violations of track and the illegal parking. The offenders will face immediate fines and, in serious cases, their vehicles will be transferred to the police stations.
He said that drone surveillance is extended to monitor violations in real time and ensure a timely intervention. This technology -based surveillance system will strengthen road discipline and dissuade the usual offenders.
