LAHORE: Traffic officials have been arrested for imposing fraudulent fines on ordinary people in Pakistan. This embarrassing incident involving the administration has occurred during a period of significant financial crisis within the country.
Several media have reported that these officials are utilizing Bluetooth printers to issue counterfeit fines. As a response, the traffic DIG has implemented stringent measures in the city. Despite dispatching notices to chief traffic officers across various areas of the city to retrieve the Bluetooth printers, there has been minimal change.
Stringent instructions were issued to the personnel involved in these activities. The police have introduced a digitized fine system to prevent such scams. However, even after implementing these precautions, counterfeit fines continue to be levied against individuals. These kinds of issues compound the challenges faced by the country during this period of financial hardship. The people of Pakistan are struggling to maintain their daily lives due to the prevailing financial shortages.
