ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad Traffic Police (ITP) have constituted special squads to curb wheeling and road stunt activities.

Following the directions of Inspector General of Police Islamabad Dr Akbar Nasir, these special squads have been erected to check practices of wheeling, car racing and rash driving which not only put the lives of violators in danger but also that of other road users, said the ITP.

Teams and special squads of ITP would patrol in different areas of the city especially on 7th Avenue, 9th Avenue, Margallah Road, Kashmir Highway, Islamabad Expressway and Murree Road, to take action against those who play stunts.

SSP (Traffic) Syed Mustafa Tanvir said that strict action would be taken against those found involved in wheeling and rash driving.

He appealed to parents to ensure strict vigilance of their children and do not allow them to play stunt on roads and risk their lives.

“Such steps by the ITP have the only purpose to ensure safe road environment for the citizens,” he said but termed the cooperation of the parents vital to stop such life-threatening stunts.

The SSP (traffic) said bikes of those found doing stunts would be impounded and heavy fine tickets would be imposed on them.
