An effort to transport a large number of weapons was caught and stopped by the Islamabad police, he said. A single suspect in the transfer has been taken into custody.

Twenty sophisticated automatic rifles with magazines, more than 23,000 rounds of ammunition, and 272 pistols in a variety of calibers are among the weapons confiscated, according to SSP Operations. The suspect was also found in possession of 4.45 kilograms of heroin and 150 grams of ice (methamphetamine).

The suspect has a criminal history and has been linked to eight instances in several Punjabi regions, according to the police inquiry. Additional investigations are being conducted after a case was filed at the Tarnol Police Station.

“Islamabad police are always ready to combat criminal elements,” SSP Arslan Shahzeb said, restating his resolve. He reaffirmed that the police force’s first goal continues to be protecting residents’ safety and security.

A dedicated bike lane has been added on both sides of Ferozepur Road, which runs from the Canal to the Lahore Bridge, by Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz in a historic move.

The Lahore Development Authority (LDA) started this ambitious project, which aims to improve road safety and ease traffic flow on city roads by using colorful dividers to keep bikers away from the major roadway.

Director General (LDA) Tahir Farooq said that this work should mean a quick decrease in traffic accidents and an easier way for bikes to commute safely.

This announcement was made by the Chief Minister of Punjab, Maryam Nawaz, on her official X account, assuring that soon separate lanes for bikers would be commissioned across also major highways of all the districts of Punjab in a bid to help avoid accidents and make traffic easier.

On Ferozpur Road in Lahore, there is a bike lane. To avoid accidents and guarantee a smooth traffic flow, all other major routes in every district will also have a dedicated bike lane, insha’Allah. tweet.com/JEfVK3bgrU

Although there has been praise for the initiative’s goal, there are also complaints about its poor planning. The lack of alternate options for bus stops, which results in buses adhering to the traffic while picking up passengers, is only one example of the careless issues that the project has brought to light.

In addition to preventing adequate drainage, the additional bike lane may cause problems with waterlogging during the rainy seasons.

Additionally, the restricted access to the lane will cause issues for banks, stores, and gas stations along the route. Such public comments have been both hopeful and hesitant; hopeful that this was a modernization plan, but cautious that the plan itself has to be improved to address the aforementioned problems.

Local stakeholders have called on the authorities to review the project and make changes to minimize the worst outcomes.
