Lahore Traffic Police will launch a crackdown from July 1 against public transport vehicles that fail to install mandatory QR panic buttons and other required security features.
Chief Traffic Officer (CTO) Syed Abdul Rahim Shirazi said all rickshaw unions, taxi operators, online cab services, and other public transport providers have been given until June 30 to comply.
Vehicles found operating without the required security measures after the deadline will face legal action.
To facilitate compliance, the traffic police are installing QR panic buttons at 45 locations across the city. Dedicated teams have also been deployed in every traffic sector, including 12 teams assigned exclusively to rickshaws.
The CTO said more than 6,000 rickshaws have already been equipped with QR panic buttons during the ongoing campaign. Four additional licensing centres have also been established to speed up the registration process following requests from rickshaw unions.
Vehicle owners must present a valid driving licence, vehicle registration documents, and clearance of any pending e-challans before a QR panic button can be installed.
