The City Traffic Police (CTP) have finalised the arrangements for Muharramul Haram under a comprehensive traffic plan formulated to ensure the security of the mourning processions.
According to Chief Traffic Officer (CTO) Rawalpindi Tamoor Khan, there would be a complete ban on parking of any vehicle or pushcart on the route of the procession.
As many as 950 traffic officials including DSPs, inspectors, traffic wardens and traffic assistants would perform duties on city roads to control the traffic flow during Muharram, Tamoor Khanadded.
He said traffic police officers and wardens had also been directed to take action against rules violators. Fork lifters would also move with Muharram processions, he said. The CTO informed that the wardens had been directed to remove all kinds of encroachments from the procession routes besides keeping a vigil on suspected persons and things.
