In a sweeping operation, the Islamabad Traffic Police (ITP) commenced a rigorous crackdown on motorcyclists across the city after the deadline for compliance with traffic regulations expired. The operation, initiated under the specific instructions of Inspector General of Police Syed Ali Nasir Rizvi, resulted in substantial enforcement actions on the first day itself.

The initial phase of this campaign saw law enforcement taking action against more than 2,200 traffic offenders. A notable outcome of this operation was the impoundment of 532 motorcycles and 60 vehicles, with 24 First Information Reports (FIRs) being filed at various police stations.

The operation targeted a wide range of traffic violations among motorcyclists. Legal proceedings were initiated against over 1,100 individuals for offenses such as lane violations, use of heavy silencers, and running red lights. Additional transgressions included the use of non-standard number plates, absence of mirrors and indicators, underage driving, and pillion riding violations. A significant number of riders were also penalized for not wearing helmets, driving without a license, and other infractions.

Chief Traffic Officer Capt. (retd) Hamzah Humayun emphasized the necessity of adhering to traffic laws, asserting that driving without a license poses significant risks to all road users. He assured that the ITP is committed to preventing any threats to public safety, reiterating that this campaign is crucial for the protection of all residents.
