Abbottabad Police have started a new registration drive using the Pehchaan mobile app. The campaign asks all taxi, online ride-hailing, and private transport drivers to register on the free digital platform. The goal is to make travel safer and help verify drivers more easily.
Registration costs nothing. Once drivers sign up, they receive a unique QR code. Passengers and police can scan this code to quickly check the driver’s identity. This simple step aims to improve safety for both riders and drivers.
Police officials say the drive is part of efforts to create a more secure and modern transport system in the city. It will build public trust in local taxis and ride-hailing services. Drivers can register by contacting their local Traffic Wardens or visiting a special Pehchaan Desk. Traffic police staff are ready to help with the process.
Authorities have called on every eligible driver to join the system. They believe widespread registration will create a safer community of drivers and make Abbottabad a more secure place for everyone.
This initiative continues earlier work by Abbottabad Traffic Police to bring more vehicles into a digital database. Similar verification systems are already used in other cities to reduce risks for passengers, especially women. By using technology, police hope to organise local transport better and respond faster in emergencies.
The free Pehchaan registration is a practical step toward safer roads and greater confidence in public transport services.
