ISLAMABAD, (APP – UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News – September 9, 2026) Helmet use among motorcyclists in Islamabad has reached a significant 90%, thanks to a special campaign by the Islamabad Traffic Police (ITP). This campaign combines road safety awareness with enforcement to protect riders from severe injuries.
An ITP official revealed to APP on Wednesday that the ongoing campaign aims to promote helmet use among motorcycle riders across the federal capital. Chief Traffic Officer (CTO) Kainat Azhar Khan praised the sharp increase in helmet usage, considering it an encouraging sign for citizen safety. She emphasized that:
