The City Traffic Police Lahore (CTPL) has launched a campaign to install Chief Minister Punjab QR panic buttons on public transport vehicles across the province. This initiative aims to enhance passenger safety by providing advanced emergency response features throughout Punjab.
Launch of the QR Panic Button Campaign
Syed Abdul Raheem Shirazi, the Chief Traffic Officer Lahore, inaugurated the program at Liberty Chowk by installing the first QR panic button. This launch underscores Lahore Traffic Police’s commitment to modern safety solutions, positioning Punjab’s public transport sector to benefit from this tech-driven security enhancement.
Understanding QR Panic Buttons
These QR panic buttons offer passengers direct access to emergency services while traveling on public transport. Passengers can quickly contact help during emergencies by scanning the QR code with smartphones. This system facilitates rapid responses to security threats or medical emergencies, ensuring immediate connections to emergency services.
Key Features of the System
- Quick smartphone-based access for passengers
- Direct connection to emergency services

- Province-wide deployment across public transport
Integration into Punjab’s Safety Agenda
These installations are a critical part of the Punjab government’s public safety agenda, designed to enhance security across the public transport network. Initially introduced in major cities like Lahore, the initiative is supported by the Chief Minister of Punjab, highlighting the government’s commitment to using technology for citizen safety.
QR panic buttons represent a modern approach to protecting public transport users province-wide, enhancing emergency response capabilities in Punjab’s transit infrastructure and setting higher standards for public safety.
