The Islamabad Traffic Police (ITP) has banned the entry of heavy vehicles, overloaded trucks, and loader rickshaws into the city.
Chief Traffic Officer (CTO) Captain (retd) Syed Zeeshan Haider announced the move on Thursday. The step aims to ease traffic congestion and prevent fatal accidents caused by such vehicles.
Additional traffic personnel have been stationed across key roads and intersections to enforce the ban. Strict action will be taken against violators, including impoundment of vehicles and legal proceedings.
The CTO said the ITP has adopted a zero-tolerance policy against all traffic violations. This includes overspeeding, signal-breaking, lane violations, and illegal parking.
Offenders will be fined, and in serious cases, their vehicles may be seized and taken to police stations.
To strengthen monitoring, the ITP is also expanding drone surveillance across Islamabad. The technology will help track violations in real time and ensure rapid enforcement.
