A REPORTER ADDS: SSP Shahid Nadeem Baloch on Sunday asked the traffic police to crack down on vehicles violating speed limit, emitting smoke and having tinted glass.
He urged the citizens to observe laws and cooperate with the police while dealing with traffic violations. He said speeding was the main cause of accidents. Drivers, he said, could solve this problem by changing their attitudes.
The speed of vehicles plying in the capital will be regularly monitored and strict action taken against those found overspeeding.
The SSP asked the citizens not to use tinted glasses, as this benefited anti-social elements, particularly terrorists.
APP ADDS: The capital police observed a general hold-up throughout the city against anti-social elements on Sunday.
The hold-up was carried out in accordance with the directions of SSP Shahid Nadeem Baloch to keep a check on suspicious people and vehicles from 8:30am to 10:30am.
