The new face of CTPL
Replacing the previous traffic police force with a new, energetic, more professional, courteous and well-paid one has started bearing fruit for Lahore in the form of strict following of rules by traffic-goers and a general respect for the traffic laws.
All this points to a better regulated and more civilised stream of traffic on the city roads, uninterrupted flow and less chances of congestion.
To see these highly motivated young men & women controlling the most messy part of our civic culture with honor, dignity, respect, courtesy and commitment makes us all proud of them.
The new face of City Traffic Police Lahore (CTPL) is sun bright, progressive, sleek, modern, and professional.
Thumbs up to this Government for taking another bold and positive initiative towards betterment of our city.
And they’ll have to face maniacs like below:
