Special squads of Islamabad Traffic Police (ITP) are endeavouring their best to ensure right parking by motorists in busy areas of the capital including markets and shopping malls.
Senior Superintendent of Police (Traffic) Farrukh Rasheed said that campaign of ITP is in full swing against those involved in parking their vehicles wrongly causing traffic jams on roads and markets as well.
He said that prompt action against such violators is being taken as they disrupt the smooth flow of traffic and cause inconvenience for road users.
In the main markets of Islamabad including F-10 Markaz, the formal action was taken on Sunday and numerous motorists were fined. The SSP (Traffic) has said this action will be extended to other areas and important shopping centres, malls and business zones of the city. He said that special squads will continue action under his own supervision and of SP (Traffic) Sumera Azam.
The SSP (Traffic) said those parking vehicles wrongly and in no parking areas create disturbance for others. He has also appealed the citizens to cooperate with police in overcoming this issue and avoid wrong parking.
