Eid Holidays: No casualty in one wheeling incidents

LAHORE: No casualty was reported during Eidul Fitr holidays in any one-wheeling incidents due to a sound strategy and preventive measures by the police.

This was stated by Chief Traffic Officer SSP Rai Ijaz Ahmad on Thursday. He said that all police officers and traffic wardens of city traffic police ensured smooth flow of traffic during Eid holidays.

Traffic wardens and Dolphin Squad remained alert throughout the three Eid holidays and that's why accident rate remained very low.



Only six persons were slightly injured in eight road accidents during these days, he added.

Ijaz said that the CTPL had established special squads to check one-wheeling, which arrested 221 violators and lodged 170 FIRs against those who performed wheelies.

More than 1,500 motorcycles were seized for various traffic rules violations.
