The Deputy Inspector General (DIG) of Punjab Traffic Police has ordered strict action against those violating speed limits across the province.
According to a spokesperson for the Traffic Police, operations against over-speeding drivers are being carried out without discrimination. This year alone, more than 95,000 motorists have been issued challan tickets for exceeding the prescribed speed limit.
The number of actions taken against over-speeding has surged by 97 percent compared to last year. Strict enforcement is being carried out against motorcycles, private vehicles, and commercial transport.
Speed guns are being used to determine vehicle speed, while Safe City cameras are actively monitoring roads to identify and penalize offenders.
DIG Traffic Muhammad Waqas Nazir stated that over-speeding not only endangers the life of the driver but also puts others at serious risk. He stressed that the use of speed detection cameras has played a key role in reducing accidents.
“Our top priority is to make travel easier and safer for the public,” Nazir said. “The Traffic Police is taking all necessary measures to protect precious human lives.”
