The Chief Traffic Officer of Lahore has proposed a ban on Qingqi and loader rickshaws from using Canal Road for cleanliness operations, in a bid to enhance traffic flow. The CTO has written to the Suthra Punjab administration, urging the utilization of alternative vehicles for sanitation purposes on the busy route. Qingqi and loader rickshaws are cited as significant obstructions on Canal Road, adversely affecting traffic management.
The proposed solution is to employ more appropriate vehicles for cleanliness operations, thereby ensuring a smoother traffic flow and reducing inconvenience for commuters. A traffic police spokesperson clarified that the entry of loader and Qingqi rickshaws onto Canal Road, including Model Road, is already prohibited. Enforcement efforts have reportedly improved travel times for citizens utilizing Canal Road.
To date, 39,861 Qingqi rickshaws and 16,832 loader rickshaws have been targeted in the ongoing crackdown. Authorities are persisting with enforcement measures to keep major roads clear and augment traffic flow throughout the city.
