In the past, travelling far and late on the highways was full of dangers; news of vehicles snatching and highways robberies were reported daily in the press.
The Punjab Highway Patrol was established on 8 Jan, 2003 with a view to providing safe travel on highways of the Punjab. The introduction of the PHP has brought a great change in the travel culture of this province. The PHP has played a vital role to curb the crimes on highways. The PHP has a traditional full cooperation with district police in combating crime.
The PHP is a public friendly force. Authentic endorsement of this fact comes from the general public, who happen to be the first hand beneficiaries of PHP services, first aid, rescue and quick evacuation of victims of road accidents to nearest medical facilities.
