Under the vision of Chief Minister Punjab Maryam Nawaz Sharif for safe travel, an important step has been taken to prevent road traffic accidents. Punjab’s first-ever Heavy Vehicles Driving Training School is being established at Manawan Traffic Police Lines. Inspector General Punjab Dr. Usman Anwar visited the under-construction driving training school at Manawan Traffic Lines and held a meeting with senior officers. On this occasion, CTO Lahore Dr. Athar Waheed, DIG Traffic Punjab Waqas Nazir, DIG SPU Ghazi Salahuddin, and CAO Safe Cities SSP Amara Athar were also present.
At the Heavy Vehicles Driving School, drivers of buses, trucks, and goods transport will be provided with certified training through modern simulators, lectures, awareness of laws, and hands-on practice. After passing the test, drivers will be issued certificates, which will help ensure road safety and contribute to a significant reduction in accidents. Alongside this, a new licensing center equipped with modern facilities is also being established at Manawan Traffic Police Lines. During his visit, IG Punjab inspected various departments including the MT Section, Takamul Center, and the Driving School, where CTO Lahore gave him a detailed briefing.
