Traffic police introduces bicycle squad

Mobile toilets inaugurated to facilitate traffic cops

KARACHI:

Traffic Police Deputy Inspector General (DIG) Iqbal Dara inaugurated the traffic police bicycle squad in Saddar on Friday. The squad has been introduced to cope with traffic congestion and other issues obstructing the flow of traffic in the trade hub of the metropolis. Dara said while addressing the inauguration ceremony that introducing the bicycle squad of traffic cops was direly needed because reaching the hotspots was impossible for traffic police officials during the traffic jams in Saddar.

He claimed that traffic police officials would be able to pass between the cars queued up on the roads while riding bicycles. According to Dara, the bicycle squad, equipped with walkie-talkies and other accessories, will patrol from Fawara Chowk to Mobile Market and from the Bambino traffic signal to Atrium Mall, and will be able to lift vehicles parked in areas restricted for parking or double parking. DIG Dara also inaugurated a mobile toilet set up in a truck and mobile traffic section on the occasion. He said that the truck would move across the city and could be called at the required spot to facilitate traffic police officials.
