LAHORE : The Punjab Traffic Police, in a bid to ensure safer roads and reduce motorcycle accidents, have launched a province-wide crackdown on bikers failing to follow essential safety measures. Motorcyclists without helmets, indicators, front and rear lights, or side-view mirrors will face strict legal action.

According to a traffic police spokesperson, Additional IG Traffic Punjab has issued directives to all Chief Traffic Officers (CTOs) and District Traffic Officers (DTOs) to take immediate action against violators. He emphasised that the use of side-view mirrors and indicators is now mandatory for motorcycles to prevent road accidents and save lives.
