LHC orders strict action against wrong parking

Lahore: The Lahore High Court (LHC) ordered to seize vehicles over wrong parking in the provincial capital on Wednesday. 

While hearing a petition asking the court to get involved in smog control, the LHC bench issued instructions. Justice Shahid Karim resumed the hearing on the plea of citizen, Haroon Farooq and others.

The single LHC bench ruled that the city should increase the number of traffic violation fines because the low penalty would merely scare people away.

The court also instructed the traffic police to keep pursuing those who ride motorcycles without helmets.

Justice Shahid Karim called the CBD Underpass's legal team to discuss the issue of amassed rainfall.

The Lahore High Court ordered the authorities to close restaurants that lack parking facilities during the most recent session.

The Lahore Development Authority (LDA) was also given a directive by the LHC to stop parking illegally everywhere in the city, even on service lanes.
