Islamabad (Staff Report/Agencies): All entry and exit points of the federal capital would be equipped with Radio Frequency Identification Barrier (RFIB) by May this year enabling smooth entry and exit of the commuters and ensuring enhanced security of the federal capital.
The decision to this effect was taken during a high level meeting chaired by Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan.
During the meeting it was also decided that additional lanes would be added, on need and land-availability basis, at all entry and exit points of the capital to ease traffic congestion at these terminals.
The minister directed Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) Traffic Police to make intercity connection easier for the commuters. He also directed that through the use of technology these points should be connected with the Safe City.
He expressed dissatisfaction over the present state of traffic management on the main highways especially the roads linking the twin cities including the Express Highway,Kashmir Road and the Murree Road.
