The Lahore City Traffic Police has announced a citywide crackdown on vehicles using fake, fancy, or non-standard number plates. Chief Traffic Officer (CTO) Dr. Athar Waheed ordered a three-day awareness campaign before the launch of the enforcement drive.
According to CTO Waheed, starting Friday, cases will be registered against individuals using unauthorized number plates. During the three-day period leading up to the crackdown, vehicle owners found with non-standard or altered plates will be issued warnings instead of immediate penalties.
“The purpose of this initial campaign is to spread awareness among citizens and give them an opportunity to comply with regulations before legal action is taken,” said Waheed.
He also confirmed that the crackdown will not be limited to drivers alone, as action will also be initiated against manufacturers of fake number plates.

CTO Waheed warned that tampering with license plates to avoid e-challans is a criminal offense and will be dealt with accordingly.
The traffic police have urged all citizens to ensure their vehicles display officially approved number plates to avoid legal complications and contribute to improved enforcement of traffic laws in the city.
