LAHORE: The Punjab government, in order to ensure the safety of families, has imposed a ban on all temporary mechanical rides during the Eid-ul-Adha holidays.
According to a spokesperson for the Punjab home department, only mechanical rides that are permanently set up in parks may operate during these holidays as long as the rides possess a valid fitness certificate.
Depending on the type of ride and location, owners or operators of the rides must obtain a certification to protect the public, and buyer beware.
They went on to say that rides that are permanently installed in parks and follow health and safety protocols will not be impacted by the ban. All deputy term directors across Punjab have been guided under these instructions to prevent harm.
Earlier, the Punjab government imposed section 144 to ensure public safety on the occasion of Eid-ul-Adha. Under this, the residents are advised to avoid showcasing arms and guns, whereas swimming and disposing of animal waste in water, canals is strictly prohibited.
