LAHORE: Lahore police have ordered comprehensive security measures at all Metro Bus and Orange Line Train stations in the city, following complaints of harassment. SP Dolphin Bilal Ahmed has been given a special task to oversee the arrangements.

The directives come on the instructions of the DIG Operations, who said that the dignity and safety of passengers is the police’s top priority. The measures apply to commuters on both public transport services.
