The Balochistan government has installed 315 trackers in long-route buses to curb the traffic rule violations in the province.
Moreover, Superintendent (SP) of Quetta traffic police Malik Muhammad Javed Ahmed also confirmed the initiative on the media.

The authorities have observed many incidents of over-speeding and rash driving by public transport on national highways, N-25 and N-40. Despite many accidents and deaths the drivers do not consider any warnings by the authorities and continue with their careless ways of driving.
Furthermore, the trackers would help the traffic authorities in the province to closely monitor public transport and take action against any violations. Similarly, these installations would also ensure passengers’ safety and well-being.
