Islamabad, Jan 1: Sindh Police has announced a new policy effective from January 1, 2025, where vehicles driven without a valid license will be impounded. Traffic violators will face strict actions without exceptions, according to Express News.
Key Details:
- Policy Implementation: The decision was made during a meeting at the Central Police Office in Karachi, chaired by IG Sindh Ghulam Nabi Memon, focusing on strengthening traffic law enforcement across Sindh.
- Enforcement of Licensing: Starting the new year, stricter measures will be enforced against unlicensed drivers, and the ongoing awareness campaign about obtaining licenses will continue.
- Public Awareness: The awareness campaign, launched on December 20, included 35 camps and over 2,000 banners, leading to a 25-30% increase in license applications.
- Traffic Violations: Traffic police will take action against unlicensed drivers by impounding their vehicles. However, general road checks are discouraged. Officers will focus on observing violations, greet drivers politely, and ask for licenses.
- Accident Investigations: IG Sindh emphasized thorough investigations into traffic accidents, daily monitoring of traffic flow, and regular training for officers to improve enforcement efficiency.
This move aims to improve traffic management and safety across Sindh, ensuring better adherence to road regulations.
