ISLAMABAD – Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif inaugurated the ‘Police Station on Wheels’ project in Islamabad, a major step to make police services easily available to citizens.
During his visit to the Safe City Capital Command and Control Centre, the Prime Minister was briefed about the mobile police stations, which will allow people to register FIRs, get other police services, and obtain driving licenses—especially for citizens aged 60 and above.
To mark the launch, PM Shehbaz was given the first honorary driving license issued through the mobile unit. He was also shown the first FIR filed via the service, proving the new system is fully operational.
The Prime Minister visited important departments under the Safe City project. These included the Police Operations Center, the Online Women Police Station, the Taxi Verification System, and the Hunch Lab. Each of these facilities plays a special role in improving security and helping people in Islamabad.
