National Highways and Pakistan Motorway Police Inspector General (IG) Ziaul Hassan on Sunday paid surprise visits to various points on Lahore-Multan national highway to check the performance of mobile patrolling officers.
Officials sources told APP that the IG on Sunday conducted visits at Manga, Bhai Pheru, Pattoki, Okara, Sahiwal, Khenewal and Multan and found entire staff on duty.
The IG also met the drivers and travellers during his visits to get first hand feedback from road-users about the conduct of officials. Rana Mohammad Sadiq, a leading businessman from Okara, while talking to IG praised the performance of the police for strictly ensuring traffic discipline on highways, which ultimately guarantees safe journey.
Round-the-clock armed patrolling on the Motorway and National Highway network has been beefed up to ensure smooth traffic flow and travel safety before, after and during the Eid holidays. Special security arrangements have been made for the Eid holidays for safe travelling.
The force equipped with sophisticated weapons has started night patrolling in wireless and radar guns fitted cars, apart from the usual 'help service' to travellers and the vehicle repair facility available through its mobile workshop.
