Islamabad:A memorandum of understanding (MoU) was signed between the Islamabad Traffic Police (ITP) and Islamabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ICCI), a public relations officer said.

He said that Chief Traffic Officer (CTO) Muhammad Sarfraz Virk and ICCI representative Ahsan Bakhtawari signed the memorandum. Under the agreement, the Islamabad Traffic Police, as part of the ‘Green and Clean Islamabad’ project, will take vigorous actions against vehicles causing environmental pollution in the federal capital. Additionally, the ITP will organise various awareness activities, including tree-planting campaigns across the city, with the support of the Islamabad business community.

On this occasion, CTO Islamabad said that ITP special squads patrol various areas and key boulevards of the city. These squads are directed to conduct regular checks and issue fines for vehicles involved in environmental pollution in the city. The aim of this initiative is to provide awareness, a clean environment for citizens and ensure the safety of their health.
