The City Traffic Police (CTP) has intensified special campaign launched against one-wheelers in the city.
Rawalpindi Chief Traffic Officer (CTO) Senior Superintendent Police (SSP) Shoaib Khurram Janbaz said strict orders have been issued to all the traffic wardens, Inspectors, deputy superintendents of police (DSPs) of all sectors that action in accordance with the law should be taken against one-wheelers and no one should be spared.
The motorcycles especially prepared for one wheeling should also be impounded. He said several arrangements were made to curb the activity particularly at Airport Road, Peshawar Road, Jhelum Road, AyubPark, and other areas aimed at protecting the youngsters as one wheeling is a cause of deaths and severe injuries for the riders.
The SSP said though, the activity was already being checked by traffic officials deputed on the city roads but special arrangements have also been made to control rash and dangerous driving and one wheeling in the city. He said traffic police officers were directed to keep a vigilant eye on the one-wheelers so that action in accordance with the law could be taken against them.
He said one-wheelers are not only playing with their own lives but also a threat for other road users. He urged the citizens particularly parents to play their role to curb the activity as one wheeling, rash and negligent driving are the main causes for fatal accidents.
