In a significant collaboration aimed at enhancing road safety, the Punjab government and the National Highways and Motorway Police (NH&MP) joined hands by formalizing a memorandum of understanding (MoU). This strategic partnership poised to usher in a new era of transportation standards and regulations.
The MoU, signed during a ceremony in Lahore on Thursday, marks a pivotal step in curbing the entry of vehicles without valid fitness certificates and route permits on motorways and highways. This proactive measure geared towards ensuring the well-being of commuters and maintaining the integrity of road infrastructure.
During the ceremony, Punjab Caretaker Chief Minister Mohsin Naqvi underscored the commitment of the provincial government to furthering road safety initiatives. One notable development on the horizon is the establishment of a cutting-edge trauma center along the Lahore-Islamabad Motorway, a project that will realized with the invaluable support of the National Highway Authority.
This collaborative effort aligns with the shared vision of the Punjab government and NH&MP to create a secure and efficient transportation network. By implementing stringent measures against non-compliant vehicles, the initiative aims to reduce accidents and promote responsible driving practices.
The impending trauma center, strategically located on the Lahore-Islamabad Motorway, is a testament to the commitment to emergency response and medical assistance for road users. This endeavor set to elevate the safety standards on one of the key arteries of the country’s road network.
