This necessary move ends a frustrating 14-year reliance on outdated transport. Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi and Minister of State for Interior Tallal Chaudhry handed over the keys today during a ceremony at Police Lines. The Ministry of Interior also officially confirmed this development on X.

After 14 years, 30 new vehicles were provided to 27 police stations of Islamabad.
Ceremony for handing over new vehicles to Islamabad Police stations.
Federal Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi and Minister of State Talal Chaudhry handed over the keys of the vehicles to Islamabad Police.
The government wants to modernize the local police force. Naqvi stated that modern policing is impossible without functional vehicles. Therefore, these new cars will drastically improve police response times and overall mobility. Furthermore, the fleet transition specifically includes electric vehicles. This modern shift aligns perfectly with the government’s eco-friendly policies. Consequently, it will significantly cut down on the department’s petroleum expenditures.
Vehicles are just the beginning of this structural overhaul. The government is currently rebuilding and rehabilitating all 27 police stations in the capital. Officials expect to complete this construction work by the end of this year. Meanwhile, the police force faces a severe manpower shortage. To solve this critical issue, Chaudhry announced the active recruitment of 9,000 new personnel. The authorities will conduct this massive hiring strictly on merit.
The state is providing all necessary resources to ensure public safety and security. According to Chaudhry, the Islamabad police force suffered for years while using 14-year-old vehicles. However, the reforms introduced over the last two years aim to completely change this reality. With these new vehicles, infrastructure upgrades, and a massive recruitment drive, officials want to transform the Islamabad police into a model force for the entire country.
