Lahore police arrested a bus conductor on Tuesday after allegations of attacking children, with Chawk police taking immediate steps to detain the accused. This decisive action is in line with the recent directives of Transport Minister Bilal Akbar Khan, under whose orders an official involved in violent behavior was also relieved from his duty.
Legal proceedings have been initiated against the dismissed official, highlighting the authorities’ commitment to accountability in the transport sector.
The minister’s strict stance against any form of violence or misconduct, clearly articulated by his directive “No compromise on passenger safety!”, apparently led to these tough measures.
The swift response by Chawk police in detaining the conductor accused of attacking underage passengers demonstrates a zero-tolerance policy against crimes affecting vulnerable individuals using public transportation.
