Punjab bans children mechanical rides for Eid-ul-Adha 2025

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.
