Lahore Traffic Police are stepping up action against vehicle owners who have not paid their token tax. This new campaign goes beyond regular traffic violations and targets tax defaulters directly.
Authorities have combined data from the Safe City Authority, Traffic Police, and the Excise Department. This integration gives traffic officers quick access to detailed information about vehicle owners.
Chief Traffic Officer Lahore, Athar Waheed, explained that traffic wardens now use a special app to scan number plates. This technology helps Traffic Police retrieve owner details instantly. They can issue e-challans and take immediate action against those who have defaulted on their token tax payments.
New standard operating procedures have been issued to Traffic Police officers for this campaign. The initial focus will be on car owners. Motorcyclists are not included in this phase of the crackdown.
The move aims to improve tax compliance and ensure safer roads in Lahore. Traffic Police hope this campaign will encourage more vehicle owners to pay their taxes on time.
This operation is part of a larger effort by Lahore authorities to enforce laws strictly and reduce traffic violations. Using technology helps Traffic Police work more efficiently and respond faster to offenders.
In summary, Lahore Traffic Police have introduced a new drive to catch token tax defaulters. With the help of data integration and a mobile app, the enforcement is expected to be more effective.
Vehicle owners are advised to clear any outstanding token tax to avoid fines and penalties. The Traffic Police will continue to monitor the situation closely.
