Peshawar gets 2 new traffic police stations

PESHAWAR: The City Traffic Police have established two more traffic police stations in the provincial capital to meet the requirement due to the increase in population in the last few decades.

Chief Traffic Officer Haroon Rashid Khan had sent a proposal to Inspector General of Police Zulfiqar Hameed and Capital City Police Officer Qasim Ali Khan regarding the need to establish more traffic police stations in the provincial capital.

The summary was approved by the IG Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and he directed the chief traffic officer to start work on it immediately after which two police stations started working in Hayatabad and Cantonment.

The first traffic police station was established in 1998 in the Traffic Police Lines in Bacha Khan Chowk. No more police stations were set up in the last 27 years despite the population having increased significantly.
