A jeep rally will be organised on May 10 and 11 in the River Ravi area, featuring a 30-kilometre route.
The Tourism Development Corporation of Punjab (TDCP) will organise the Lahore Ravi Jeep Rally with the support of the Ravi Urban Development Authority (RUDA).
Chairing a coordination meeting to review the preparations, Divisional Commissioner Zaid bin Maqsood directed the Lahore and Sheikhupura administrations to provide full support to the organisers and issue effective traffic management plans to ensure smooth flow and public convenience during the event. He also ordered the preparation of duty rosters for relevant departments.
He emphasised that Rescue 1122 must establish emergency response camps along the entire route. Firefighting vehicles and equipment must remain active and readily available. Medical camps, emergency centres and ambulance services should be deployed to provide immediate assistance if required.
Security arrangements will be managed jointly by the Lahore, Sheikhupura, motorway and highway police.
The commissioner said the jeep rally is a major tourism and motorsport event for the region and called on all departments to collaborate closely to ensure a safe, organised and vibrant experience for the participants and spectators.
