He said that following the special directions of Inspector General of Police (IGP) Islamabad, the police decided to constitute special squads for taking stern action against those violating red signal. A special campaign is underway to check violations while various squads are performing duties at main roads and boulevards of the city and taking action against the violators. “Ef­forts are underway to ensure a disciplined traffic system in the city,” the spokesman said. Islamabad police will ensure implementation of traffic rules and regulation irrespective of status and rank and dem­onstrate patience and politeness while issuing traffic violation tickets to the road users.
