KARACHI: Police will no longer arrest or book drivers violating the one-way rule, the Sindh government said on Friday, only weeks after police launched a crackdown against traffic law offenders in the city. Earlier this month, Karachi police chief Ghulam Nabi Memon had announced a city-wide operation against traffic law offenders driving the wrong way on Karachi’s one-way streets. Wahab said that, starting from February 1, traffic police in Karachi will no longer arrest violators of the one-way rule or register first information reports (FIR) against them. The announcement came after Wahab earlier contacted the additional inspector-general (AIG) of police for Sindh over the issue of arrests. AIG Sindh has given his assurance, the adviser said, adding that people also needed to heed traffic rules and regulations.
