In a bid to facilitate commuters during the holy month of Ramadan, Karachi Traffic Police have announced a temporary halt on issuing challans from 5 PM until Iftar time. This decision comes as part of a directive from Deputy Inspector General (DIG) Ahmed Nawaz, aimed at ensuring a smoother traffic flow for citizens rushing home to break their fasts.
During this period, commuters traveling with their families will receive warnings instead of challans, allowing them to reach their destinations without undue delay. The focus of traffic police during this time will be on preventing violations such as one-way driving, which often leads to accidents and disrupts traffic patterns.
Additionally, the traffic police will pay special attention to preventing parking at turning points, particularly for rickshaws, cars, and motorcycles. Officers without body-worn cameras will not be authorized to issue challans, ensuring transparency and accountability in enforcement activities.
Furthermore, the directive emphasizes strict adherence to the fast lane on Sharea Faisal, with motorcyclists urged to stay in the designated by-lanes. Car lifting activities will be limited to instances of double or illegal parking, with a designated time allocated for such actions.
DIG Nawaz also warned of disciplinary measures against officers displaying misconduct towards citizens, reinforcing the importance of respectful interactions within the law enforcement framework.
This temporary suspension of challans during specific hours aims to ease traffic congestion and promote a safer commuting experience during the Ramadan evenings in Karachi.
