ISLAMABAD, Jul 10 (APP):The Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) administration took action against traffic rule violations in a busy commercial area and several motorists were stopped during a surprise inspection and handed over to traffic police for legal proceedings.
According to the spokesman of ICT administration, Assistant Commissioner City, Maheen Hassan, carried out an inspection in Jinnah Super Market as part of a campaign to monitor traffic violations. The drive focused on one-way rule violations, use of unofficial number plates, and failure to present vehicle documents.
During the operation, officials found multiple cases of rule-breaking. A total of 11 drivers were stopped for either driving against the designated one-way traffic, using number plates that did not match official standards, or being unable to provide valid documents for their vehicles.
The drivers were handed over to the Islamabad Traffic Police on the spot for further legal action. The inspection aimed to maintain order in the commercial hub, where traffic congestion and violations often cause public inconvenience.
According to officials, the inspection was conducted without prior notice to ensure an accurate assessment of the situation. The administration emphasized the importance of traffic discipline, especially in areas with high footfall and business activity.
The Assistant Commissioner said that such inspections will continue regularly in commercial zones to ensure compliance with traffic rules. She added that cooperation with the traffic police is crucial to streamline urban mobility and enforce regulations.
The Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) Administration has already launched several enforcement campaigns this year targeting both illegal parking and traffic law violations. These actions are part of a broader plan to improve traffic flow, pedestrian safety, and overall public convenience.
Citizens are being urged to follow road safety rules, display approved number plates, and carry complete vehicle documents at all times. Officials say that ignoring these rules not only results in fines and legal consequences but also puts other road users at risk.
The administration has called on drivers and shopkeepers in the area to cooperate during inspections and report any persistent violations. Public feedback, officials say, plays a role in determining which areas require stronger monitoring.
The crackdown is part of the city’s broader initiative to enforce laws and create safer roads in Islamabad’s commercial and residential sectors.
