The action is part of an ongoing crackdown ordered by Lahore Chief Traffic Officer Syed Abdul Raheem Shirazi against habitual traffic violators and e-challan defaulters. Traffic police have warned that motorists with pending fines may face vehicle impoundment, legal action, and additional penalties if they fail to clear their dues.
Authorities have advised citizens to verify their e-challan status and settle any outstanding fines to avoid enforcement action. The latest arrest demonstrates that traffic violations recorded through Safe City systems are being actively monitored and pursued.
