On every one of my countless visits to Lahore it looks like the quantity of automobiles keeps expanding and the traffic seems to be getting more agonizing. But the state of affairs has somewhat altered these past few times and amazingly car owners appear to be notably ordered. On my trip returning home I noticed a feature in a magazine on the efforts of the Punjab government and primarily the police unit to mend the traffic predicament in Lahore and their plan to train the disorderly car owners on the hectic city avenues. Here are certain explanations as to why this has been a triumphant application until now.
Order commences with the law enforcement agencies and the Lahore Traffic Police appear to be clamping down in terms of allowing traffic culprits off without some kind of condemnation. Brazen wrongs like stopping on a zebra crossing or chatting on the cell phone while traveling were till the recent past believed to be insignificant wrongs by drivers until the police, stationed at every main junction, began clamping down. Similar kinds of wrongs are hardly ever witnessed nowadays and those drivers disobeying the law have an clear look of anxiety, as if they were on the verge of being penalized at any instant.
One other prominent reformation is the encouraging behavior demonstrated by the Lahore Traffic Police. There is rising self-satisfaction in considering what they do sincerely, seeing the advantageous end result of their efforts and attaining much honors for their efforts in both periodicals and the electronic media. Smartly dressed in white and grey apparel, the Lahore police force seems to be playing a crucial part in alleviating the disorder started up by hasty automobile drivers.
Lahore appears to be much more liberal in terms of keeping female police officers and essentially using them on the streets, an event I have almost never observed in any other important city in the country. An antiquated view of politeness usually obliged male traffic police to acquit the most hazardous faults by female drivers in Lahore, a reasonably sore matter for the women in Lahore. With a significant number of women on the Lahore police force, women are now dealing with women, and all the flattery in the world are useless against the female Lahore officer's fortitude.
Building on the prior instance, the Lahore Traffic Police are applying laws to all automobile drivers independent of the type of vehicle or the car owner. Powerful and regular citizens are equally answerable and Lahore's police force has performed a noteworthy job of executing this regulation, bringing equitability to at least one aspect of our lives here in Pakistan. I am certain unwarranted leverage must be triumphant in a good many circumstances but the truth remains that an effort was made to warning the car owner to the greatest limit viable by the traffic constable.
These incredible pains have also provoked the inhabitants of Lahore into contributing. Car owners are giving further attention to their community duties on the streets and acting in a somewhat refined manner. Progressive devices to aid Lahore's Traffic Police would be an extra benefit and may possibly be something to think over for the coming era. Till then I believe other towns can learn a lesson from Lahore and begin clamping down on us hysterical car owners.
