Ramazan road safety campaign launched

LAHORE

On the special directive of DIG Motorway Police M-2, a Ramazan road safety campaign has been launched.

In this campaign, Iftar boxes and special road safety pamphlets. brochures and booklets were distributed among commuters and motorists on Motorway M-2 Ravi Toll Plaza, Lahore.  SSP Masroor Alam Kolachi , DSP Muhammed Afzal Majeed were also present on the occasion. Sector Commander SSP Masroor Alam Kolachi advised the NH&MP officers that as during the month of Ramazan, people often loose their temperament; therefore, the officers should pay special courtesy and should not misbehave with any road user. Similarly, at the time of Iftar, the chances of road accidents increase, therefore, special measures be taken to ensure safety and security of people on Motorways and on National Highways.

The SSP stressed upon the officers to take great care of the road users in distress, as the provision of help, counseling and guidance to road users is the hallmark of Motorway Police and we must sustain this credibility.
