ISLAMABAD: Islamabad Traffic Police (ITP) has started a special campaign from September 17 to 26 to help government employees obtain driving licenses.
An ITP official told the media that during this period, all government employees will receive full support at traffic offices and through mobile facilitation vans. After September 26, any employee caught driving without a valid license will face strict legal action.
Chief Traffic Officer (CTO) Islamabad, Capt. (retd) Hamzah Humayun, said ongoing checks for illegal parking in Secretariat Blocks revealed that many government employees were driving without licenses. “Accountability starts with us. Government employees must set an example before enforcing the law on the public,” he added.
He assured that all ITP offices and resources would provide maximum assistance to help employees get their licenses before the deadline.

Some employees, however, expressed concerns over the short timeframe. Hassan Mahmood, a federal employee, said it was difficult to process licenses for thousands of workers in just nine days.
Another employee, Nadeem, added that long queues prevented him from completing the process despite spending the whole day at an ITP office.
The CTO warned that after September 26, no employee will be exempt from legal action. Vehicles may be impounded, and departmental proceedings could be started against violators. He urged all officers to take responsibility and obtain their licenses on time.
