In a first, Karachi Police will now be patrolling the streets of Saddar on bicycles, while a portable toilet has also been introduced to facilitate traffic cops.
Shedding light on the initiative, Deputy Inspector-General (DIG) Traffic Iqbal Dara said that the bicycle squad has been introduced in Saddar to solve the problem of frequent traffic jams that occur almost every day due to narrow lanes.
On Friday, Dara inspected and inaugurated both the facilities at the Metropole Traffic Checkpoint in Saddar.
The DIG Traffic said that in an area like Saddar which is one of the busiest areas of Karachi it is hard for traffic police officers to reach a spot if traffic jams occur there because the streets are very narrow.
