Authorities also issued challan tickets to 665 vehicles for driving in the wrong direction, while 299 vehicles were penalized for violating lane discipline rules. In addition, 298 vehicles were fined for missing number plates or using unauthorized and non-standard plates.
Dr. Athar Waheed urged citizens to strictly follow traffic laws, emphasizing that compliance is essential to protect lives and reduce accidents on Lahore’s busy roads.
He advised motorcyclists to wear helmets at all times and instructed vehicle owners to ensure that approved number plates are properly installed.
The chief traffic officer warned that the crackdown will continue without discrimination, stressing that traffic police will maintain zero tolerance against violations to ensure safer and more orderly traffic conditions across the city.
