The government has expanded the domain of the Islamabad Traffic Police by allowing them to issue driving licences to non-residents of Islamabad.

Residents from any part of the country can obtain driving licenses from Islamabad, Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi said on Monday. He declared the revocation of all permits for illegally tinted windows.
