He disclosed this while chairing a meeting relating to an anti-smog campaign on Thursday and it developed a consensus to promote walking and cycling culture among the people. While addressing the meeting, he said for the promotion of cycling, arrangements would be made to provide cycles on rent.

“The cycling industry should play its role in the promotion of cycling culture in Lahore; the administration will fully cooperate in this connection,” he added.

On this occasion, he directed the relevant officials that cycling lanes and parking stands should be constructed on important parts of Mall Road, Canal Bank Road, Jail Road, Main Boulevard Gulberg and Ferozepur Road.

Every year we hear this type of nonsense ....... the people advocating such ideas need to stop visiting foreign countries ( from where they get these ideas ) and come up with practical home grown solutions. These half-baked knee jerk ideas must stop.
