Islamabad Traffic Police (ITP) has launched a campaign against parking vehicles wrongly and restricting the smooth flow of traffic by occupying footpaths.
During the ongoing year, Islamabad Police issued more than 93,459 fine tickets against wrong parking while several vehicles were impounded at police stations for not vacating footpaths, a public relations officer told APP on Friday.
Chief Traffic Officer (CTO) Muhammad Sarfraz Virk, directed all Zonal DSPs to ensure the implementation of traffic laws and take action against those involved in creating problems for traffic discipline in the city.
CTO Virk said that it is the right of pedestrians to use footpaths and no parking would be allowed on them. Vehicles should be parked at lots specified at shopping centers while awareness campaigns should be launched to educate citizens, Virk said.
The CTO said that it is their top priority to ensure convenience for road users by maintaining traffic discipline and every possible effort would be made for the purpose.
He said that special squads have been constituted for the purpose of removing illegal parking and vacating footpaths while indiscriminate action would be taken against violators.
The operation would be extended to other areas of Islamabad to ensure smooth traffic flow.
Sarfraz was miserably failed with tinted and without number plates vehicle. Lets see what poor casteist virk will do with parking issue.
