The Islamabad Traffic Police (ITP) on Monday started impounding public transport vehicles running on low quality gas cylinders.
According to details, the ITP has started inspecting vehicles following the Gujrat incident. During the checking, four to five faulty gas cylinders were found.
Traffic police officers said that the ITP fined and impounded several vehicles with substandard gas cylinders. Vehicles with maintenance certificates were let off.
Use of poor quality gas cylinders is a legal violation and demonstrates disregard for human life. To avoid incidents like the Gujrat tragedy, the authorities will check vehicles scrupulously, they added.
