Chief Traffic Officer (CTO) Lahore Captain (Rtd) Mustansar Feroz on Sunday announced that rewards would be given to 35 best wardens every day and 10 wardens in every week on the basis of performance. Addressing a meeting of traffic officers at Shaheed Ahmed Mubeen Lines Manawan, he said that open door and rotation policy would be ensured in all posting/ transfer as all traffic wardens would have equal opportunities in transfer posting. The CTO said that performance based reward system was being introduced as best performing traffic officials would be referred for rewards to the Capital City Police Officer (CCPO) and Inspector General of Police (IGP) Punjab in order to further encourage them. Traffic wardens’ performance would never be evaluated on ticketing issuance performance, he said and added that strict action would be taken against corruption and tout mafia in licensing offices for ensuring transparency. Mustansar Feroz said that besides citizens’ facilitation services in all CTP offices, actionable information software would be developed to identify the obstacles causing disruption in traffic flow and to eliminate them immediately. He while talking about the observance of traffic rules, said that non-implementation on traffic rules caused accidents on roads, saying that last year, 462 citizens died in traffic accidents, in which 260 people were motorcyclists, among them 222 citizens died due to head injuries so it was needed to take action against those not using helmets while riding.

The CTO also directed the wardens to behave with the citizens in polite manners and continue to work with honestly and diligently as traffic police was the face of Lahore police.
