Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif Thursday ordered Lahore’s Chief Traffic Officer (CTO) to clear the signals of beggars.

Following the CM orders, CTO Lahore Amara Athar formed three special squads to tackle the issue of the beggars on Punjab’s capital’s roads.

She ordered Divisional and Circle Officers (DCO) to remove the beggars immediately from signals ensuring smooth traffic movement.

“The busy and important roads of the city should also be cleared of beggars”, said CTO Lahore.

She also warned that cases will be registered against those begging under the guise of fake disability to deceive the public.

On the first day, 29 cases have been registered against beggars.

Additionally, the CTO Amara Athar urged the citizens to assist in identifying and reporting such elements, promising to work hand in hand to ensure the safety and tranquillity of the city.

Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz met ASP Shehrbano Naqvi here on Thursday and said protection of vulnerable sections of society was among her priorities.

The woman ASP briefed the chief minister about the Ichhra incident and how she rescued a woman who had been confined in a shop by a mob due to her shirt having a print in Arabic language. She also briefed the CM about the initiatives for the minority communities, transgenders, and animal rescue centres in Lahore, Gujranwala and Rawalpindi.

CM Maryam Nawaz praised ASP Shehrbano Naqvi for showing courage, saying the woman police officer had set an example of bravery and courage for the young officers.

Senior Provincial Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb, IGP Punjab, CCPO Lahore and SSP Law & Order also attended the event.
