LAHORE: The Punjab Highway Patrol (PHP) has banned police officers from taking lifts from citizens on the major roads of the province, here on Wednesday.

According to the latest instructions, officials have been barred from taking lifts on Ring Road, GT Road and Motorways.

The development came at a time when police officers and personnel were often seen stopping vehicles on the highways so that they could take a lift to reach their destination.

The ban will be strictly enforced, the DIG PHP said, adding that police officers who violate the directive will face disciplinary action.

He said that taking lifts from citizens on the streets is against the code of conduct of police officials.
