In a unique initiative to raise awareness about traffic laws, Lahore Chief Traffic Officer (CTO) Ammara Athar announced that no traffic challans will be issued in the city on Monday.
Instead, citizens violating traffic rules will receive warnings during an educational campaign.
The CTO stated that the primary goal of this campaign is to educate citizens about traffic regulations and encourage compliance. “The purpose of Education Day is to make citizens obey the laws,” she emphasized, adding that the initiative seeks to foster a sense of responsibility among the public regarding traffic safety.
Special camps have been established on major roads, including Mall Road, Jail Road, and Ferozepur Road. Traffic wardens will provide information and guidance to citizens about traffic rules at these camps. The camps are set up to facilitate direct interaction with the public, ensuring that the message of safe driving practices is effectively communicated.
CTO Athar also noted that issuing challans creates awareness of drivers’ mistakes. However, today’s focus will be education rather than enforcement, allowing citizens to learn from their errors without facing immediate penalties.
