Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz has launched a new initiative to make travel safer and reduce traffic accidents by establishing the province’s first Heavy Vehicles Driving Training School at Manawan Traffic Police Lines.
Punjab Inspector General of Police Usman Anwar visited the under-construction facility and reviewed progress in a meeting with senior officers, including CTO Lahore Dr. Athar Waheed, DIG Traffic Punjab Waqas Nazir, DIG SPU Ghazi Salahuddin, and Safe Cities CEO SSP Amara Athar.
The school will provide specialized training for bus, truck, and goods transport drivers using modern technology and advanced driving simulators.

The training will include classroom lectures, practical driving sessions, and traffic law awareness programs. Drivers who successfully pass the tests will be awarded official certificates.
