DIG Traffic Waqas Nazir directed Chief Traffic Officers (CTOs) and District Traffic Officers (DTOs) to continue operations without discrimination. He highlighted that strict enforcement is necessary to protect lives.
“A large number of traffic accidents are caused by minors behind the wheel, and this is simply unacceptable,” Nazir stated.
