Keeping in view the General Elections 2024 being held across Pakistan on February 8, the Lahore City Traffic Officer (CTO) has directed the traffic wardens not to collect computerized national identity cards (CNICs) from the citizens who are issued challans for traffic violations. 

According to details, CTO Amara Athar has issued these directives to the Lahore traffic police to make sure that people have their CNICs with them on the election day and they can cast their votes without any hassle.
