Heavy Vehicles Without Fitness Certificates Banned from Entering Lahore

To curb smog, Lahore’s Chief Traffic Officer (CTO) Dr. Asad Wahid has announced strict measures against smoke-emitting vehicles.

According to his directives, starting October 1, heavy vehicles without a valid fitness certificate will be prohibited from entering the city. Action will be taken under Section 39 of the Motor Vehicle Ordinance 1965.

The CTO said a large-scale crackdown is being launched against vehicles that emit excessive smoke. Since January this year, more than 26,301 challans have already been issued to violators.

Dr. Wahid stressed that air pollution is a major cause of various diseases and urged that collective efforts are needed to fight smog and protect public health.
