Lahore’s traffic police have been granted the authority to handcuff individuals involved in illegal parking and encroachments as part of a stricter crackdown on traffic violations.
In just three days, 500 violators were arrested in an effort to tackle persistent congestion and restore order in the city’s busiest areas. Newly appointed Chief Traffic Officer (CTO) DIG Athar Waheed emphasized that this measure aims to deter offenders and promote sustainable traffic management reforms.
The police pledged to maintain the crackdown’s momentum, targeting key bottlenecks and collaborating with other departments to clear encroachments and regulate parking effectively.
