Drivers without licence to face action
Chief Traffic Officer Islamabad Captain (R) Hamza Humayun said that after October 1, strict action will be taken against drivers driving without a licence.
This action will be indiscriminate, regardless of which social class the citizen belongs to. He further said that Islamabad Traffic Police will provide all possible facilities to citizens until October 1.
Citizens can also obtain licences from the Faizabad Traffic Office, F-6 Facilitation Center, and Traffic Facilitation Vans. Citizens should always keep the original copy of their licence with them, while a digital copy will not be acceptable under any circumstances.
