The Chief Traffic Officer (CTO) of Lahore, Dr. Athar Waheed, has announced new measures to enforce traffic laws strictly.
He stated that no one, including government officials, will be exempt from fines, and anyone violating traffic rules will face both fines and departmental action, including suspension from their jobs.
Dr. Waheed emphasized that adherence to traffic laws is mandatory for everyone. He confirmed that even police officers or personnel found breaking traffic rules would be fined and suspended.
As part of the initiative, free helmets have been distributed among traffic wardens, and it is now mandatory for both motorcycle riders and their passengers to wear helmets. Additionally, all passengers in vehicles, including those sitting next to the driver, must use seat belts for safety.
These steps are aimed at improving road safety and ensuring strict compliance with traffic regulations across Lahore.
