ISLAMABAD: Islamabad Traffic Police (ITP) fined 12,089 people for driving vehicles with tinted windows during the ongoing year.

Special squads have been constituted so effective action can be taken against people driving such vehicles, following directions of Inspector General of Police (IGP) Islamabad Qazi Jamilul Rehman.

Senior Superintendent of Police (Traffic) Farrukh Rasheed urged citizens to follow the rules and said that strict action would be taken against people driving vehicles with tinted glass as per law.

The SSP issued orders to check every violation and issue violation tickets to every violator. “The elimination of VIP culture and equal application of law are our main objectives which would be achieved at every cost,” he added.

He has directed his staff to continue the campaign to educate people and inculcate traffic sense among road users along with the enforcement of law. He also stressed the need to bridge the gap between police and public through mutual kindness.
