KPK government had made several claims about facilitating the traffic police with the latest technologies and reforming the force as a whole. The project started with Peshawar and was expanded to other cities of the province.
Over the past few years, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa traffic police has seen a major change in the way it deals with traffic and the citizens. Peshawar’s traffic wardens have been at forefront and have set some great examples for others to follow.
However, change does not come from changing uniforms or lacing officials with the latest tech. It comes with a change in mindset.
In this case, officials were encouraged to do the right thing without fear of unjust consequences. To aid and facilitate them and the common citizen that they serve, the traffic police have been backed up by technology. This can be seen with their use of a regular camera feed that records everything that goes on the roads and in front of the traffic wardens.
Here are a few examples of appreciable efforts by some traffic wardens in KPK:
Traffic Warden Refuses Bribe
A recent viral video shows a Peshawar traffic police warden rejecting an offer to take bribe. Instead of misbehaving the officer asked the traffic violator to promise never to do something like this again and fined him according to the laws of the province.
A similar incident was reported a few months ago where the Peshawar Traffic Police’s camera recorded an officer refusing to take bribe.
End to VIP Culture
Since KPK’s traffic police has the local government’s support, VIP culture is also diminishing in the region. Officers behave the same way towards the general public as they do with government officials.
VIPs – even MPAs and other government office holders – have had to face the law as traffic wardens continue to fine and warn them without any regard for their stature or authority.
Adapting With the Circumstances
Where some KPK traffic police officials strictly follow the rules, others have an odd (some might even say out-of-the-box) way of improving the province’s traffic situation.
Here are a few of initiatives taken by them:
Understanding the New Traffic Warden System in KPK
Since the new system is quite different from other provinces. The videos below highlight how the system was implemented a few years ago and some of its unique aspects:
Concluding Thoughts
Other provincial law enforcement authorities are also making strides in the same way. There are a few examples of cops in Sindh, Punjab and Balochistan exhibiting the highest standards in delivering their services. There is always room for improvement provided that an environment and the will exists to do better. Hopefully, things can only improve from here.
The idea here is that even though Pakistani police is notorious for adopting heavy-handed and at times illegal tactics to do anything but ‘serve’ the citizens, it merits mentioning here that not all is lost for the local law enforcement agencies. The lack of political will as well as an accountable culture is the first step in this regard. Ensuring that the public has a stake in the system and giving them tools to effectively give feedback on the police force can help matters immensely.
Tabdeeli :)
Fear of no one but the camera with live feed ?
In first video a pakhtoon policeman talking to another pakhtoon in urdu in KPK happens very rarely..so is it for recording?
I do not disagree with the writer but with a few examples and then “conclusion” doesn’t seem right just like a few bad examples in other provinces doesn’t mean all police force is unprofessional.
Let readers make the conclusion?
I have not seen any traffic warden in Lahore speaking punjabi to a Punjabi just because he is Punjabi. Grow up bro Please!!! If you can’t appreciate the good then please don’t denounce it either.
Well, as per my experience in 90% cases two Pakhtoons always speak pushto when discussing something even when there are lot of others (non Pakhtoons) in meeting.
Possible in KPK but 90% in Punjab (Lahore specially) Traffic Wardens talk in Urdu.
and then there is this,, happened in Mardan

Do you know what happened to this police officer after this behaviour. ?
it is the question what happen to this policeman, matter is why this happen.
That person violated traffic rule. but officer is not supposed to do this. As per my knowledge this officer is suspended from his position ( might be penalized)
and what did happen after it? Without it, your story is incomplete.
shameful
This happens everyday dozens of times by Punjab police and we witness it.
oh finally someone ,., and that is why there is no blog on their good deeds as well just like this one,., as there are many examples of good deeds as well in Punjab and Sindh
if you can show the honesty then also show the dishonesty,.,., and if you cant accept the dishonesty then stop publicizing the other side as well,.,
the bottom line is .., there are good and bad people every where., so if your are focusing on only province and only their good deeds then accept the critics as well
“if you can show the honesty then also show the dishonesty,.,., and if you cant accept the dishonesty then stop publicizing the other side as well”
Wow. First let me clear one thing to you, I didnt write this article so stop advising me.
“there are many examples of good deeds as well in Punjab”
I see honesty of Punjab police every day so please dont tell me about your ideal force.
” so if your are focusing on only province and only their good deeds then accept the critics as well”
No province has been more criticized more than KPK since the govt of PTI but seems like you missed all of those articles. And who told you I am against the acceptance of critics?
your 1st reply on my comment showed that you are against critics,., otherwise we were not discussing this .,
if you see HONESTY in Punjab police daily., then take it to your end .,.,
KP more criticized .,., end of discussion he hogeya bhayya :)
Looking at your comprehension skills there is no point of further discussions :)
ji ji.,., jab insan k pas kuch nahe rehta hey to yhi kehta hey :)
Haha. When I showed Mr Patwari I didnt write the article, suddenly I became someone who doesnt appreciate critics. Wah bhai waah. Har Ada-e patwariyaan nirali ?
critics kya sirf article likhnay walon k liye he hota hey!!
o agaye foran patwari patwari kerne.., acha hey acha hey.,., yhi kerte reh jao gey.,
Haha. How does saying that article is not written by me proves I am against critics? Aiena un ko dikhaya tu bura maan gaye
aina to meine dikhaya tha coment ker k iss article.,. ap he josh mey aa k jawab dene pr tulay huay thay.,
Haha. Loser still doesnt have answer. Issay kehtay hain aina dikhana

baki ap apni khush fehmi mey khush raho.., looser aur dont have answer ya patwari ., waghera ki baatein kr k
If you have comprehension disability, I will ask the question again. How does one claiming not the writer of something means, he is against critics?
Aab phir say idher udher ki bongiyaan na marna
OK dheet ho :)
first tell me.,. did you accept what i shared as (GIF) on the reply of this article !!
aur apni ye so called comprehension inter k exams mey dikhana., examiner ko

baat ka jawab do., ya phir mein bhe keh dun., loser dont have answer .,., q k it was you who had issue on my comment
Again no answer. Bhai English samjh nahi aati tu Urdu main translate kar doon?
Empty vessels make the most noise :)

Kiya chawliyaan maar rahay ho? Anyone can see I am asking you a question since start aur dum dabba kar bhaag rahay ho. Masla yeah hay kay start main tu samajh hi nahi aya tha. Translation kay baad kuch samajh aye thi. Hahaha

I think you are someone studied from Danish schools. It has answered already by someone that the police officer was punished. Now come back to the real question from which you are running like authentic Patwari. I am not interested in your chawals
borr ker rhay ho yar ab tum, facts pr baat kero, accept kero is incident ko apni baat kero why did it even happen agar itna acha hey sab kuch tou.,.,

Happy 4years of crying., :) ~ IYKWIM
Haha. This loser doesn’t have answer to the chawals he did at the start. Even though he asked a question after me and I answered but this Patwari is trying to run away from the question like a mouse. You must be one of those Marriyam nawaz soldiers who get paid with Qeemay wala naan for comments. I cant stop laughing by reading the whole conversation that how a patwari is trying to avoid answer. Apna PB neechay lao aur “angreezi” nahi samajh aati tu dil pay kiyoon laitay ho. Danish public school say tum jaisay hi nikalnay hain na :P
hahah sahe keh rhay ho bhae.,., loser, patwari, qeemay wala naan, mariam soldier, aur apnay angrezi k bharam.,., jazbaat mey BP ko PB likh gaye., baki kuch likhna bhool geya to maazrat
but the thing is u still cant accept what i shared in the first place but then again its not about your acceptance its the ground reality and it cant be denied you have to just bear it.,
make mockery of others and just keep on rolling,, this is what you can only do., you dont have any real thing to talk about
“Bharam”? Whats this? We dont speak hindi here. And as u cant justify your chawals. Everyone can see, you wrote crap in so many comments but couldnt answer a simple question. You are an authentic patwari.
yar ye msg nahe parha.,., bas notification dekh k reply ker rha hun :D
Since u dont have an answer and poor education record is evident, from now on u will be called a “paindu patwari”
o yar., kitni khush fehmi hey apki., parhay likhay honay ki., highly educated honay ki.,.,
hum log nahe hogey to ap logon ka level ooper kesay aye ga hena.,, acha hey ., acha heyy.., pata chal jata hey dusray ka bhe,, khud to onchai pr ja nahe sakte to bhae., dusron ki he tazheek kerte raho.,., aur necha dikhatay raho(although this patwari, paindu, cholay, qemay etc etc doesnt matter to me) aur baatein kerne ko to mein bhe bohat kuch keh sakta hun apko lekin us say kuch hona to hey nahe
answer~answer tou aesay ker rhay ho jesay k pata nahe kitna zaruri sawal ker diya tha bhai ne., but then again jo fact meine share kiya on the first place uska kya hoga.,., aur agay bhe nae misaalein aarahi hein,, aap apni khush fehmi mey khush raho., aur to kuch nahe hosakta

Paindu Patwari
how about KPK traffic wardens beaten up very badly senior citizens ? video already captured on public, look it up on google. #ProPTI
#nodiginity #AmirAtta
The difference is that the warden was removed from performing his duties and hence an example set. While we all know how those who massacred 14 people and injured many more in Model Town and captured on video were first protected in Punjab and later promoted. We all saw the videos of people being beaten but again no action is taken anywhere else. So i would have agreed with you to say no change took place if no action was taken against this warden.
Try to appreciate positive things irrespective of your party affiliations.
Lastly, let’s not throw labels at others.. this is the change we should first instill in our society.
Shows everyone is gearing up for Election year …
