Traffic Police Lahore to Challan Motorcyclists Without Safety Rods Starting Feb 1

Capital City Police Officer (CCPO) Bilal Siddique Kamyana has announced that motorcyclists in Lahore will confront fines starting February 1 if caught riding without safety rods.

The measure is part of the “Safe Basant” initiative, which aims to install safety wires on 1 million motorcycles at no cost to protect citizens from stray kite strings. The district administration has established 100 camps across the city to provide these installations. However, the CCPO has not disclosed the locations of these camps in Lahore, and we were also unable to independently verify where they are operating.

Key Basant Regulations:

• Flying Dates: Kite flying is permitted only from February 6 to 8 within the Lahore district.
• Sales: Only registered sellers may sell kites and string from February 1 to 8.
• Strict Enforcement: A zero-tolerance policy on aerial firing. Police have warned that parents or guardians will face legal action if their children are found involved in illegal kite flying.
