Islamabad Traffic Police (ITP) has established special ‘Pink Counters’ at all police facilitation centres and traffic headquarters to provide women with greater convenience in official matters and a better environment.
According to Chief Traffic Officer Kainat Azhar Khan, the primary objective of this initiative is to ensure the protection of women’s privacy and dignity.
Islamabad Traffic Police has introduced several new initiatives to facilitate women and students. Under these measures, students will be able to obtain a motorcycle driving licence on the same day, women will receive free scooter-riding training, and citizens will also be able to have their driving licences delivered to their homes.
According to the Associated Press of Pakistan (APP), Islamabad Traffic Police has introduced these measures under the leadership of Chief Traffic Officer Kainat Azhar Khan to provide citizens with easier and better services.
The initiatives aim to empower women, facilitate students, improve road safety, and make traffic police services more accessible to citizens.
According to an Islamabad Traffic Police official, special Pink Counters have been established for women at police facilitation centres and traffic headquarters.
Only female police personnel will be deployed at these counters, where women will be able to obtain driving licences and character certificates.
Female applicants will be provided services on a priority basis at these counters to ensure they do not face long waiting times or unnecessary difficulties. The arrangement aims to give special consideration to women’s privacy, dignity and convenience.
42-day waiting period abolished for students
Islamabad Traffic Police has introduced a major facilitation measure for eligible college and university students seeking motorcycle driving licences.
Under this initiative, the mandatory 42-day waiting period after obtaining a learner’s permit has been abolished, allowing students to obtain a motorcycle driving licence on the same day after completing the necessary legal formalities.
This special facility is available at Islamabad Traffic Police Headquarters from November 1 to November 30, 2026. The initiative aims to discourage young people from riding motorcycles without a licence and encourage them to obtain driving licences through legal procedures.
Free scooter-riding training for women
The free scooter-riding training programme for women has also been extended. The training is being provided at the Uraan Driving School.
Initially, the programme was scheduled to run from November 1 to November 15. However, due to the overwhelming interest and participation of women, its second phase has been extended from November 16 to November 30.
Through this programme, women will receive practical scooter-riding training so they can travel independently with confidence and become more self-reliant in their daily mobility.
Driving licences to be delivered at home
Islamabad Traffic Police has also introduced a home delivery system for driving licences through courier service provider TCS to facilitate citizens.
Under this facility, citizens who have completed the necessary procedures for obtaining a licence will be able to receive their driving licences at their homes.
Residents of Islamabad will receive their licences within one day, while applicants from other cities will receive them within two days.
This initiative will eliminate the need for citizens to make repeated visits to traffic police offices and will also save their time.
Chief Traffic Officer Kainat Azhar Khan said that empowering women, facilitating students, and providing modern, transparent and convenient traffic services are among the priorities of Islamabad Traffic Police.
