LAHORE: National Highways and Motorway Police (NH&MP) Tuesday started a road safety campaign to ensure proper briefing and enforcement against vehicles with weak tyres considering the fact that weak tyres are major cause of accidents on highways.
According to a statement, DIG (N-5 Central) Mirza Faran Baig has directed the Mobile Education Unit as well as patrol officers of the central zone to take effective measure against vehicles with weak tyres with special focus on public service vehicles to ensure safety of passengers.

The DIG also advised officers concerned to make all-out efforts to make the campaigns successful, and directed all deputy superintendents of police (DSPs) to monitor the campaign in their respective beat areas.
