    Islamabad Police intensifies crackdown against vehicles with tinted windows

    Islamabad capital police stepped up their enforcement of the law against cars with tinted windows and black paper. In order to combat the vehicles, special squads have been formed.

    The Islamabad police believe that it is their moral obligation to promote road safety while upholding the law, hence they intend to implement a zero-tolerance policy.

    The Excise and Taxation Department and the Islamabad Transport Authority also fined 65 automobiles for having decorative or non-pattern licence plates, while 30 vehicles received fines for having tinted windows.

    Tinted glass and fancy license plates were on the administration’s radar, thus the action was carried out on the direction of Deputy Commissioner Islamabad Irfan Nawaz Memon.

    According to a release from ICT, the administration advised taking strict action against smoke-emitting cars and those operating without valid licenses. The Excise officers and traffic police physically checked automobiles at G-14, Srinagar Highway, and E&T Department, where 65 vehicles had their non-pattern and fancy number plates removed.

    The ICT administration declared that its campaign against tinted glasses and road safety measures was in full swing and added that commercial cars lacking fitness certificates would not be permitted on the roads at any cost since there must be no compromise on public safety.
