ISLAMABAD, Dec 30 (APP): Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) Police, in coordination with the Islamabad Traffic Police (ITP), have decided to further intensify action against motorcyclists involved in lane violations and professional beggars operating across the federal capital, as part of efforts to restore an orderly traffic system and curb nuisance on roads.
An official told APP on Tuesday that, on the directions of SSP Operations Islamabad Qazi Ali Raza, instructions have been issued to all zonal SPs, SDPOs and SHOs to ensure strict, across-the-board enforcement against lane violations, wrong-way driving and riding motorcycles without helmets. He said the Islamabad Traffic Police would play a key role in the campaign to improve traffic discipline and road safety.
The official said lane violations by motorcyclists pose serious risks to other road users and disrupt traffic flow, adding that coordinated operations by ICT Police and ITP would continue without discrimination to deter violators.
He said special tasks have also been assigned to police teams for the arrest of professional beggars and their facilitators, who create traffic congestion and inconvenience for citizens at busy intersections and public places.
SSP Operations Qazi Ali Raza said strict legal action would be taken against drivers who obstruct traffic flow, reiterating that restoring a smooth and integrated traffic system in Islamabad was a top priority of the police.
He urged citizens to comply with traffic laws, wear helmets, avoid lane violations and cooperate with the police, adding that public support was essential for making Islamabad’s roads safer and more disciplined.
Police have also appealed to citizens to report professional begging and any suspicious activity to their respective police stations or through the emergency helpline Pucar-15, assuring timely action.
