  "summary": "The Lahore Traffic Police have announced a special traffic plan to ensure smooth traffic flow during school, college, and university hours in Lahore. In response to the increasing congestion on busy roads, additional personnel will be deployed, including 100 extra traffic response units and patrolling officers. Traffic wardens will also be stationed outside over 200 schools located on major roads, such as Mall Road, Jail Road, Ferozepur Road, Main Boulevard Gulberg, Iqbal Road, Wahdat Road, Maulana Shaukat Ali Road, and Canal Road. Lahore's Chief Technology Officer, Syed Abdul Rahim Shirazi, has directed circle officers to remain in the field during school opening and closing times and has ordered meetings with school and college administrations. The Traffic Police have also decided to restart the Traffic Scouts program and prepare a scooter training program for driving schools. A schedule for road safety awareness lectures in educational institutions is being developed to educate students about traffic rules and safe driving practices.",
