In a new safety initiative, the Lahore Traffic Police has prohibited children from sitting in the seats reserved for rickshaw drivers. This measure aims to prevent accidents and ensure safer travel conditions for young passengers by addressing issues related to overloaded school transport.
The new regulation comes as part of a broader effort to enhance road safety and protect children who commute by rickshaw. While 251 traffic wardens have been deployed to enforce the ban, there are ongoing concerns about the effectiveness of this enforcement.
Authorities are urging parents to be vigilant and monitor their children’s transport arrangements to ensure compliance with safety regulations and prevent potential hazards during school commutes.
