Lahore Traffic Police Issue 37,000 Fines in August

Lahore Traffic Police have intensified their campaign against underage drivers, issuing more than 37,000 tickets in August on the orders of DIG Traffic Muhammad Waqas Nazir.

According to officials, over 13,800 underage drivers were penalized during the month, while more than 9,000 motorcycles were stopped in various operations. Around 2,000 challans were also issued specifically to underage motorcycle riders.

DIG Traffic Waqas Nazir directed Chief Traffic Officers (CTOs) and District Traffic Officers (DTOs) to continue the operations without discrimination. He emphasized that strict enforcement is necessary to curb the rising number of road accidents involving underage drivers.

“A large number of traffic accidents are caused by minors behind the wheel, and this is simply unacceptable,” Nazir said.
