The province’s capital’s illegally parked vehicles must be impounded, according to a ruling by the Lahore High Court (LHC).
During a hearing on a petition to fight smog, the LHC bench gave instructions. Justice Shahid Karim presided over the hearing for a citizen named Haroon Farooq and several others.
The single bench ruled that the city’s traffic infraction fines should be raised. He claimed that the severe penalty would encourage people to follow the law with greater caution.
The court also instructed traffic officers to keep pursuing motorcycle riders without helmets. In addition, Justice Karim called the legal group to discuss the problem of standing water in the CBD Underpass.
The LHC recently ordered the authorities to close down the restaurants without designated parking areas.
The Lahore Development Authority (LDA) was also ordered by the high court to stop illegal parking throughout the city, particularly on service lanes.
