The city traffic police (CTP) issued 15,670 challan slips to vehicles and motorcycles on parking rules violations in 2017 while 110,654 vehicles and motorcycles parked in no parking areas were lifted through fork lifters.
According to Chief Traffic Officer (CTO) Rawalpindi Yousaf Ali Shahid, the CTP launched grand operations against the traffic rules violators and action in accordance with the law was taken against wrong parking, double parking and the vehicles and motorcycles parked in no parking areas.
Special squads, mobile squads and special CTP teams were constituted to clear the roads, he added. The CTO said Education Wing of CTP was making efforts to create awareness among the road users while special workshops were also organized in schools, colleges and universities to guide the students about traffic rules during the year. The students were acquainted with the traffic rules as the commitment of young drivers to follow traffic rules could help the CTP immensely in ensuring a safe road environment, he added.
He said though the traffic wardens were doing their best for ensuring safe roads in the city but, the cooperation of the students and other road users would help a lot in achieving their objective. All out efforts were being made to inculcate the traffic sense among people, he said adding the workshops were a sequel of this programme, which would also be extended to other educational institutions. Awareness banners in this regard were also displayed at important intersections of the city.
The CTP launched grand operations against wrong and illegal parking particularly on Murree Road, Airport Road, Adiala Road, Mall Road, Cantt Saddar Road, Bank Road, Peshawar Road, Judicial Complex Road, Raja Bazar, Commercial Market, Sadiqabad and the other main roads of the city. Traffic wardens and field officers were directed to take strict action against encroachers and wrong parking of vehicles which create hurdles in smooth flow of traffic on city roads, the CTO said and added action was also taken against traffic wardens and officers on poor performance.
