This was decided in a meeting chaired by CCPO Lahore Capt (retd) Ameen Wains in which DIG Ali Amir, SSP Akbar Nasir Khan, CTO Lahore Rai Ijaz and other senior officials were also present.
Various aspects were brought under discussion aside from the crackdown. It was also directed to take action against makers of fancy number plates. The CCPO said that these measures have been taken to secure the country.
City Traffic Police and Excise teams will collaborate to offer guidance to the citizens. On the occasion, CCPO Lahore said that the crackdown against suspicious vehicles or ones without authentic documentation will be undertaken in an effort to rid the provincial capital of terrorism. For this, 10 teams have been formed from Excise, City Traffic Police and District Police; no tolerance will be shown towards any opposition to the measures.
CTO Rai Ijaz, on the occasion, said that City Traffic Police will take every possible measure to provide assistance to the public. For the presence of unordinary number plates in schools and colleges, bus stations, and other stands, walks and traffic lectures will be carried; an awareness week will also been launched in this regard. Moreover, social, print and electronic media will also be used to create awareness among the public.
Rai Ijaz further said action based in law will be taken against those designing fancy number plates. He advised the public to only obtain number plates from the Excise Department. Failure to comply will not be tolerated, he said.
