Lahore : Motorway Police Central zone have devised special and prompt strategies to curb the tendency of accidents on highways.

DIG N-5 Central Mirza Faran Baig has directed all beat commanders/DSPs , operations  and Admin officers to remain on highway one hour before “Iftar” because at this time most of the drivers indulge in over speeding and reckless driving.

The officers have been asked to check over speeding vehicles through speed checking cameras to prevent any untoward incident.

The officers have also been directed to ensure the use of hooter and horn whenever any HTV vehicle or passenger bus passes them especially in the late hours of night.

During night, special Crime Squads will be deployed in all the sectors from Lahore to Rahim Yar Khan and all the beat commanders will ensure more vigilant and effective patrolling in their area of jurisdiction. All the beat commanders have been asked to arrange ‘Sehri’ and ‘Aftari’ for the officers on duty.

The officers have further been directed to extend prompt and meaningful help to the road users in distress.

The patrolling officers have been especially asked to observe maximum tolerance with the commuters as they tend to lose temper near ‘Iftar’ hours.
