Sindh Police is expanding the use of modern technology across the province to enforce traffic laws. These measures are helping improve traffic discipline and are also contributing to a reduction in street crime. The SSP West Sindh Traffic Police Muhammad Azam Jamali, said that while addressing the Hamdard Naunehal Assembly karachi meeting yesterday titled “Adopt Road Sense, Save Lives” at Bait-ul-Hikmah Auditorium, Madinat al-Hikmah. Ms.Sadia Rashid, President of Hamdard Foundation Pakistan, presided over the proceedings.
Muhammad Azam Jamali said that Sindh Police planned to introduce modern systems such as e-challans, Safe City cameras, automatic number plate recognition technology, and digital monitoring networks to improve traffic management, ensure transparency, strengthen the rule of law, and protect citizens.
He said that the e-challan system has helped discourage VIP culture and promoted equal application of the law. The Sindh police is also expanding digital traffic monitoring and modern surveillance cameras in Karachi and other cities to reduce traffic violations and road accidents.
He said meaningful change always begins at an individual level, therefore creating awareness among students about traffic laws and road safety is the need of the hour. There is no age limit for learning good habits or speaking the right words. Even children can guide their parents about traffic rules.
The SSP West observed that many motorcyclists in Karachi continue to show irresponsible behaviour, which often leads to the loss of precious lives. He stressed that wearing helmets, observing lane discipline, controlling speed, and following traffic signals are both legal and moral responsibilities of every citizen. He said Sindh Police regularly conducts awareness campaigns, educational programmes, and road safety seminars to promote traffic awareness among the public.
In her presidential address, Ms.Sadia Rashid said that life is the most precious blessing granted by Allah Almighty. A person’s life is connected not only to their own future but also to the hopes of parents, a mother’s prayers, and the future of the nation. Despite this, the rising number of traffic accidents in the country remains a matter of serious concern. She said that valuable lives are being lost because of haste, negligence, and disregard for traffic laws.
She added that responsibility for traffic accidents cannot be placed on one group alone, as society’s overall behaviour also plays a major role. Therefore, it is essential to promote patience, balance, and a sense of responsibility within society. Addressing the children, she urged them to become responsible citizens from an early age, to cross roads carefully, avoid rushing, and encourage their siblings, friends, and parents to follow traffic rules. She said that a civilised and aware society can only be built through positive individual behaviour.
She also urged teachers to educate students about traffic awareness, respect for the law, and road safety so that future generations may help create a safer, more disciplined, and law-abiding society.
Young speakers including Asmara Raheel, Minhaj ul Kubra, Muhammad Yaqoob Malik, Absham, Ayesha Fawad, and Jaisha Ahmer said that civilised societies are recognised through traffic awareness and respect for laws. While enforcing laws is the duty of law enforcement agencies, citizens must also demonstrate patience, discipline, caution, and responsibility.
Students from Rose House Grammar School presented a theatre performance on traffic awareness, while the event concluded with Dua-e-Said presented by students of Hamdard Public School and Hamdard Village School.
