The Rawalpindi City Traffic Police (CTP) has introduced special arrangements to manage the expected increase in traffic during the final ten days of Ramazan.
According to a CTP spokesperson, the measures were implemented on the instructions of Chief Traffic Officer (CTO) Rawalpindi Farhan Aslam to ensure smoother traffic flow during the busy shopping period.
Under the plan, additional traffic personnel have been deployed on major roads, commercial markets, and bazaars across the city. Office staff are also performing field duties in shifts until Eid to help control traffic and assist road users.
CTO Farhan Aslam said the last ten days of Ramazan usually bring a large number of shoppers to markets, which leads to increased traffic in different parts of the city.
He added that more than 800 traffic officers and personnel are performing 24-hour duty across Rawalpindi to maintain order on the roads.
Traffic wardens are managing traffic on major roads with the cooperation of citizens, while special squads remain active to prevent accidents, one-wheeling, and illegal parking.
The CTO also urged residents to follow traffic rules, cooperate with traffic personnel, and avoid parking in restricted areas while shopping so that traffic can move smoothly for everyone.
