Lahore Imposes Citywide, Motorway Ban on Vehicles Without Green Stickers

Officials describe an emissions-focused drive powered by Safe City monitoring during Lahore's peak smog period.

Overview

  • The Punjab EPA, working with the Punjab Safe City Authority, has issued more than 2,000 e‑challans in four days under a zero‑tolerance policy.
  • A complete movement ban now applies to non‑compliant vehicles within Lahore and on motorways serving the city.
  • Penalties escalate for repeat violations, with doubled fines on a second offense and on‑the‑spot impoundment for a third.
  • Authorities warn that fake or self‑made stickers will trigger immediate legal action, heavy fines, and possible vehicle confiscation.
  • Check‑posts, Traffic Police units, and Anti‑Enforcement squads are conducting continuous inspections, with Safe City feeds used to identify violators and further tightening expected.
