LAHORE: A Punjab government official has been arrested for hitting a traffic warden with his vehicle in Lahore after the latter tried to stop him. The Parks and Horticulture Authority (PHA) director has been booked in a hit and run case at the Civil Lines police station. It emerged that within the remits of the Civil Lines police station, the PHA official hit the traffic warden with his vehicle after being asked to stop the vehicle over a traffic violation. “The warden, however, remained unhurt in the incident,” the police said. In a similar incident with a tragic outcome in August this year, a traffic warden has been killed after being overrun by a bus in Lahore after the former tried to stop it under overloading charges.
