Punjab Launches Mobile Police Station for Licences

Lahore: The longstanding challenges in obtaining and renewing driving licences in Punjab have been addressed with the launch of the province’s first Mobile Police Station and Licensing Unit.

Chief Minister Punjab, Maryam Nawaz Sharif, formally inaugurated the project, which aims to bring police and licensing services directly to the public. During the launch ceremony, the CM toured the mobile unit, observed its operations, and interacted with the staff. She also handed over the vehicle keys to the concerned officials.

The Mobile Police Station will offer a range of services including registration of FIRs, issuance and renewal of driving licences—learner, regular, international, and women-specific licences. It is designed to serve people at their doorstep, especially women, students, and residents of remote areas.

Speaking at the event, CM Maryam Nawaz called the project a “revolutionary step” toward efficient public service delivery. She also instructed staff to maintain respectful and empathetic conduct while dealing with citizens.

Officials mentioned that the mobile units will also visit girls’ schools and colleges, as well as working women’s centers, to make licensing more accessible.
