FAISALABAD: The traffic police department has decided to arrange an ethical training course for wardens to train them in dealing with transporters and motorists more politely.
Chief Traffic Officer (CTO) Muhammad Masoom Khan told The Express Tribune on Sunday that the traffic wardens had been issued instructions to behave politely and decently with the public. “Due to a lack of training, complaints have been received that some wardens misbehave with the transporters and commuters,” he said.
“Recently, a traffic warden allegedly manhandled Waheed Khaliq Ramay, the Council of Loom Owners Association chairman,” the CTO said.
“The case has highlighted the lack of ethical training among traffic wardens,” he said.
“Therefore, courses in ethical and psychological training will be arranged.
This is imperative for controlling the traffic violations on roads,” Chief Traffic Officer said.
The CTO said that services of educationists and psychologists would be hired. “It will be mandatory for all traffic wardens to attend the courses,” he said.
“During the training, we will ask the wardens for suggestions to improve the traffic management system.
Their feedback is important for reducing the traffic accidents in Faisalabad,” the CTO said.
