Sindh Home Minister Ziaul Hassan Lanjar officially inaugurated the Sindh Police Driving School on Tuesday at the Police Training School in Saeedabad, Karachi.
Lanjar described the initiative as a step forward in professional policing and safer roads. He emphasized that moving forward, only “professionally trained drivers” would be allowed to operate police and government vehicles.
A guard of honour welcomed Lanjar as he arrived, and Additional IG Training gave him a detailed briefing on the school’s objectives and expected outcomes. In his speech, Lanjar called the initiative a “gift for the citizens of Sindh” and promised it would play a vital role in promoting a culture of safe and lawful driving.
The Home Minister said the driving school would help reduce accidents caused by untrained drivers and improve overall public safety. He emphasized the need for stronger inter-agency coordination, especially in light of recent changes to traffic laws that require stricter enforcement, even for government officials.
A Roadmap to Growth and Accountability:
Inspector General Sindh Police Ghulam Nabi Memon echoed the sentiment, stating that the driving school would play a major role in preventing accidents. He announced plans to expand the training model through public-private partnerships to make it accessible to a broader range of drivers.
Memon also outlined reforms designed to improve the transparency and efficiency of the driving license issuance process. To ensure accountability in enforcement, he highlighted the ongoing deployment of body-worn cameras. He further confirmed plans to recommend finalizing amendments to traffic laws, aiming to tighten regulations and enhance compliance across the board.
Additionally, Memon reaffirmed the Sindh Police’s commitment to the Safe City Project, which seeks to integrate traffic regulation with urban security for long-term impact.
The Sindh Police Driving School initiative represents a major step toward professionalizing law enforcement drivers. It also aims to strengthen public trust and enhance road safety through structured training and smart, technology-driven regulation.
