  "account": "The Lahore Traffic Police has announced a new enforcement campaign targeting unsafe school transportation. Chief Traffic Officer Syed Abdul Rahim Sherazi has directed officials to crack down on vehicles that transport children in violation of traffic laws. Drivers are prohibited from using liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinders in school vans, wagons and rickshaws. Children are to be seated only in the rear, not the front, of these vehicles. Pickup drivers must limit front-seat occupants to just one person. Traffic police will be on the lookout for schoolbags or other items hanging outside of rickshaws, and will enforce the ban on Canal Road. The CTO has instructed the Education Unit to notify schools and parents about these safety measures. Parents are urged to ensure their children take only safe modes of transportation to school.",
