The Administrative Court in Qasim has charged seven traffic officers with accepting bribes, forging official documents, and misuse of authority. Meanwhile, the Traffic Administration in Madina has come under fire for failing to tackle the increasing rate of motor accidents in the region. In a letter from the General Control Bureau to Saeed Al-Qahtani, Director of Public Security, the GCB said the increase in the rate of accidents in Madina was due to a failure to draw up plans to address the issue, citing a rise in fatal incidents on last year's figures.
