ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad Traffic Police (ITP) is advancing its initiatives to enhance road safety and empower women, aligning with directives from Inspector General of Police Islamabad, Captain (Retd.) Muhammad Sohail Chaudhry. The efforts include practical training and public awareness activities aimed at providing safer travel facilities.

According to Islamabad Capital Police, Chief Traffic Officer Kainat Azhar Khan recently visited the Free Scooter Training Programme to assess the training offered to women, highlighting the importance of independent and safe mobility in building confidence and expanding travel opportunities. The program is designed to teach women scooter-riding skills, fostering independent mobility and enabling safe and confident travel.

In a parallel effort, the ITP’s Education Wing conducted an awareness session at CUST University Islamabad. Students were informed about traffic laws, the procedure for obtaining a driving license, and the significance of compliance with traffic regulations. The session emphasized responsible driving practices and the importance of adopting safe travel habits, encouraging students to act responsibly as road users.

ITP continues to organize awareness activities at educational institutions and public venues, aiming to foster responsible road behavior and improve traffic awareness, particularly among young people and women. These initiatives strive to contribute to a safer traveling environment across Islamabad.
