Chief Traffic Officer (CTO) Muhammad Sarfraz Virk has instructed all Zonal DSPs to enforce traffic laws and address issues affecting traffic discipline. He emphasized that footpaths are for pedestrians, and parking on them will not be tolerated. He added that vehicles should use designated parking spaces at shopping centers, and awareness campaigns should be launched to inform citizens.
The CTO highlighted that ensuring convenience for road users and maintaining traffic order are top priorities. Special squads have been assigned to clear illegal parking and vacate footpaths, with strict action planned against offenders.
