On September 18, SZABIST Islamabad organized an interactive session on “Road Safety and Community Policing.” The event brought together students, faculty, and experts to discuss strategies for safer roads and stronger community engagement.

Two distinguished speakers led the session — Capt. (R) Hamza Hamyun, Chief Traffic Officer, Islamabad Traffic Police, and Ms. Aisha Jamil, Station Director, FM Radio Traffic Division. They shared practical insights on safe driving, public participation in policing, and the importance of collective responsibility.
