With New Year’s Eve just around the corner, the Punjab government is taking strong steps to make sure the roads are safe and traffic flows smoothly during the celebrations. The police have set up a detailed traffic plan to help manage the huge crowds, reduce accidents, and prevent unsafe driving behaviors, like one-wheeling and dangerous firing.
In Rawalpindi, more than 800 traffic wardens, supported by 6,600 police officers, will be out on the streets to manage traffic and keep things safe. They have placed 32 special checkpoints in busy areas, where officers will keep an eye out for illegal activities. Additionally, patrolling units like the Dolphin Force and Mohafaz Squad will be out and about, making sure everything runs smoothly and stepping in if anyone breaks the law.
Lahore, the heart of Punjab, will see a much larger team in action. Over 25,000 officers will be on duty, with 5,000 of them stationed in Lahore itself. These officers, along with specialized units like the Dolphin Squad and the Punjab Highway Patrol, will patrol highways and major roads to prevent traffic jams and keep the streets safe for everyone. They will also make sure there are no illegal activities happening, especially dangerous driving behaviors.
Authorities have made it clear that they will not tolerate reckless driving, one-wheeling, or other traffic violations. People who break the law will face serious consequences, including arrests. The police are taking a strict approach to ensure everyone stays safe, and drivers are urged to follow the rules to avoid penalties.
The public can also help by reporting any suspicious or illegal activities to the police helpline (15). This cooperation between the police and the community will be key to maintaining peace and safety during the celebrations.
Punjab’s traffic management plan for New Year’s Eve shows how much effort is being put into keeping the roads safe. With thousands of officers on duty and clear instructions to avoid dangerous behavior, the celebrations are expected to be fun and safe for everyone. By following the rules and being responsible on the road, we can all contribute to making this New Year’s Eve a great one.
