Authorities have announced a zero-tolerance policy against hooliganism on New Year’s night, forming seven special squads specifically to curb one-wheeling and other dangerous activities.
Chief Traffic Officer (CTO) Farhan Aslam stated today that hooliganism and harassment will not be tolerated under any circumstances, while special checking points are also being established to prevent racing and car skidding.
The CTO confirmed that over 600 traffic police personnel will be on duty under a comprehensive traffic plan created for the occasion.
In light of security concerns, the CTO announced that strict action is ongoing against vehicles with tinted windows and those operating without license plates.
These measures also extend to the sources of vehicle modifications, as the CTO has warned that legal action will be taken against any mechanic found altering motorcycles for such activities.
According to CTO Farhan Aslam, excellent traffic arrangements have been made at churches and other religious sites to facilitate worshippers.
At parks and recreational areas, where a large number of visitors are expected, additional traffic police have also been deployed to manage the flow of vehicles.
The CTO made a direct appeal to guardians, urging parents to keep a special watch on their children during the night’s festivities.
He further warned the public to refrain from giving motorcycles or cars to underage children to avoid any potential legal trouble.
Concluding his remarks, the CTO directed all personnel to perform their duties on New Year’s night with diligence and a full sense of responsibility.
