Students who would show excellent traffic sense would get lucrative awards from Islamabad Traffic Police (ITP), which is organising a series of colourful events/competitions at different educational institutions of the federal capital in this connection.
These competitions are also open for female students, are being arranged by the Islamabad Traffic Police, in collaboration with the Pak Suzuki Company, to inculcate better traffic sense among students, and to spread awareness about traffic rules. An educational team is visiting various educational institutions of the city and arranging the competitions in various phases. So far, the team has visited six educational institutions. A total of 18 candidates, three from each educational institution, have been selected so far in the first phase by evaluating their traffic sense through filling a questionnaire.
In the next phase, practical driving test of motorbikes or cars of these candidates will be held and the best candidates will be given a chance to appear in the third and final round.
Final round of the ‘Quiz Competition’ is likely to be held in the end of this month, and the position-holders will be given attractive prizes by the Islamabad Traffic Police and the Pak Suzuki Company. This is certainly a good initiative taken by the Islamabad traffic police to involve the youth.
