ITP fines nearly 2,000 vehicles for using pressure horns

In the previous three months, 3,767 vehicles have been fined by the Islamabad Traffic Police (ITP) for using pressure horns and polluting the environment in the federal capital.

According to a police spokesman, about 1,981 vehicles with pressure horns and 1,786 smoke-emitting vehicles were fined as a result of the ICTP’s stepped-up environmental enforcement.

Action has been started against those cars involved in environmental pollution, as instructed by the DIG of Police (Ops). He instructed ICTP to step up campaigns against smoke-emitting automobiles in order to protect the environment.

All Zonal DSPs have been instructed to take harsh action against any cars that contribute to environmental pollution, and the SSP (Traffic) is personally overseeing these initiatives.

To carry out the fight against smoke-emitting cars, ITP has organised mobile squads. These teams conduct patrols in various locations and issue fines to the drivers of noisy and smoke-emitting cars.

The ITP is also working to stop smoke-emitting vehicles, and special squads are working to stop environmental pollution. The goal of these operations is not to punish individuals, but rather to ensure road safety and discipline by encouraging law-abiding behaviour on the part of the populace.

According to the DIG (Ops) Islamabad’s instructions, special ITP squads have been established to regularly monitor and fine vehicles that contribute to noise pollution or other types of environmental pollution in the city.
