To prevent accidents and ensure smooth traffic flow, the Chief Traffic Officer (CTO) has made a major decision to ban the entry of heavy traffic on Raiwind Road during daytime hours.
According to the CTO, from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., no heavy traffic will be allowed to enter from Thokar Niaz Baig to Raiwind. During this time, heavy vehicles will be diverted towards Sundar Road, Manga Mandi, and Multan Road to reduce pressure on main highways and lower the rate of accidents. Additionally, heavy traffic entry will also be banned from Kahna Kacha to Defence Road.
For effective monitoring, additional police personnel have been deployed on Raiwind Road under the supervision of divisional SPs and circle officers. Forklifts and breakdown vehicles have also been mobilized to eliminate wrong parking.
