LAHORE Traffic Police on Wednesday impounded 313 vehicles and issued 713 tickets
for spreading smoke and operating without safety measures. According to a spokesman for the department, under the orders of the Lahore Chief Traffic Officer Mustansar Feroze, a midnight operation was conducted against smoke emitting vehicles.
Special checking teams were deployed on the city’s internal and external roads while orders had been issued to file cases against vehicles involved in dangerous overloading, the CTO said.
He said that vehicles, carrying soil, sand and other materials must ensure safety measures before coming on roads as human safety would not be compromised at all while zero tolerance policy would be enforced against smoky vehicles to combat smog in the provincial capital.
The CTO said that nighttime patrolling duty in the city had also been increased while additional
personnel had been deployed in line with smoggy conditions.
