Islamabad: Islamabad Traffic Police has decided to make helmets mandatory for both persons riding a motorcycle.

According to Chief Traffic Officer (CTO) Islamabad Zeeshan Haider, it will be mandatory for both men and women riding a motorcycle to wear helmets.

The decision to wear helmets will be implemented after a two-week awareness campaign. First, citizens will be made aware of the importance of double helmets, he said.
