Islamabad: In a major traffic enforcement push, Islamabad Traffic Police have issued fines to over 40,000 motorcyclists for not wearing helmets, highlighting a city-wide effort to bolster road safety and rule adherence. The campaign, led by the Islamabad Capital Police, aims to enforce traffic laws strictly and reduce road accidents and fatalities.

According to Islamabad Capital Police, this initiative is part of a broader strategy directed by Inspector General of Police Syed Ali Nasir Rizvi to improve traffic management and awareness in the city. The drive focuses on educating citizens about the importance of following traffic rules, with a significant emphasis on the mandatory use of helmets for bikers.

The traffic police are committed to applying the rules uniformly, regardless of the individuals’ status or rank, ensuring that all violators are treated equally. Officers have been instructed to maintain a courteous demeanor while enforcing the law, reflecting the campaign’s dual focus on firmness and fairness.

Moreover, the police have been actively engaging with the community, urging parents not to allow underage children to drive, and emphasizing that the issuance of fines is not merely punitive but a necessary measure to safeguard the public and foster a safer commuting environment in the capital.
