During the campaign, the special teams of Islamabad Police and representatives of a private company performed their duties on the main roads of the city and briefed the motorcyclists about safe journeys.During the first phase of the campaign, the motorcyclists without helmets and side mirrors or with defective indicators, headlights, rear lights, and speed meters were educated while the faulty equipment was repaired.
Special squads had also been constituted for this campaign under the supervision of the SSP Traffic Islamabad Muhammad Sarfraz Virk. Citizens had been asked to replace their motorcycle defective side mirrors and electric devices (signals, front lights, and back lights) within two days.
