Lahore: New Directive on Police Conduct for Highway Patrol
In Lahore, a new directive has been issued by the DIG of Punjab Highway Patrol (PHP), prohibiting police officers from accepting rides from citizens on major roads. This decision affects key routes including Ring Road, GT Road, and Motorways.
The directive addresses recent concerns where police personnel have been seen soliciting lifts from passing vehicles. Such behavior has been deemed a violation of the established code of conduct.
To address this issue, a strict enforcement policy has been put in place. Officers who do not adhere to this new rule will face disciplinary measures.
This action aims to enhance the public image of the police force and reinforce the commitment to maintaining high standards of professionalism. The prohibition reflects an effort to ensure that police conduct aligns with the expected norms and regulations.
Instances of officers seeking lifts on major roads have been observed frequently in recent times, prompting the introduction of this directive.
