With stern measures in place, entry of heavy vehicles into Islamabad will now only be permitted between 12:00 am. and 5:00 am., while such vehicles will be barred from entering the metropolis during daytime hours.
Chief Traffic Officer (CTO) of Islamabad stressed that use of tinted windows on vehicles is strictly prohibited, and violators will face strict legal action. He further warned that motorcycles carrying three riders will also be dealt with firmly under the law.

All bus terminal owners and managers will attend urgent coordination meetings, and no public transport vehicle will be allowed to pick up or drop off passengers outside designated terminals.
