In addition, the crackdown has been expanded to secondary roads such as Kahna, Nishtar, Raiwind, and others. Those caught violating the rules will be subject to penalties, including license checks.

Earlier this year in January, Punjab’s caretaker government implemented strict measures targeting underage drivers and individuals without a valid license, following a tragic accident involving six members of the same family.

In response, the Punjab government introduced online services for license renewal and registration, along with a substantial 1566% increase in license fees.

Online License Renewal

Individuals can renew their licenses online for various durations, eliminating the need for physical driving tests for certain candidates.

Online Registration

To simplify the licensing process due to the rise in applications, the traffic police introduced an online registration service.

1566% Increase in License Fees

The government approved a significant hike in driving license fees, drawing criticism on social media for the timing and magnitude of the increase.
