1. Naye Qanoon Ka Maqsad (The Need for Strict Law)
- Pehle gutter ke dhaknay chori karne par mamooli jurmana hota tha, jis ki wajah se choro aur scrap dealers ke honslay buland thay. Lekin naye Ordinance 2026 ke tehat ab ye aik "Non-Bailable" aur sangeen jurm tasawar kiya jayega. Humein lagta hai ke CM Maryam Nawaz ka ye iqdaam "Safe Punjab" vision ki taraf aik bara qadam hai.
- A. Chori Aur Kharid-o-Farokht Par Saza
- Agar koi shakhs gutter ka dhakna chori karte, bechte ya kharidte hue pakra gaya to:
- Qaid: 1 se 3 saal tak ki sakht qaid.
- Jurmana: 2 Lakh se 30 Lakh rupay tak ka bhari jurmana.
- B. Scrap Dealers Aur Re-rolling Plants Par Shikanja
- Humein aksar ye shikayat milti thi ke scrap dealers chori ka maal kharidte hain. Ab:
- Agar koi scrap dealer ya factory (re-rolling plant) chori shuda sarkari saman (Manhole covers, fences) kharidte hue pakri gayi to unhein 3 saal jail aur 1 Crore (10 Million) rupay tak jurmana hoga.
- C. Repeat Offenders (Bar Bar Jurm Karne Wale)
- Aise afraad ya giroh jo pesha-warana taur par ye kaam karte hain, un ke liye saza mazeed sakht hai:
- Qaid: 3 se 6 saal tak.
- Jurmana: 1 Crore rupay tak.
- D. Jani Nuqsan Par Sangeen Dafat
- Agar kisi khulay manhole ya tampered streetlight pole ki wajah se kisi shehri ki maut waqay ho jati hai, to mulzim par Pakistan Penal Code (PPC) ki sangeen dafat (jaise qatl-e-khata) ke tehat karrawai hogi.
- Saza: 10 saal tak qaid aur 50 Lakh rupay tak jurmana.
- E. Izafi Dayra-e-Kar (Not Just Manholes)
- Ye qanoon sirf gutter ke dhakno tak mehdood nahi hai balkay is mein niche di gayi tamam cheezein shamil hain:
- Streetlights: Khambay aur un ki wiring.
- Hifazati Jangle (Fences): Metro Bus, Orange Line aur Motorways ki side fences.
- Utility Infrastructure: Pani ki pipelines aur digar sarkari nasbat (installations).
- F. Fauri Amaldaramad
- Housing department aur Police ko makhsoos ikhtiyarat diye gaye hain ke wo aisi jaghon (Scrap yards) par bina notice ke chapa maar sakein jahan chori ka maal mojood hone ka shak ho.

Mashwara hai ke agar aap ke ilaqay mein kahin dhakna gayab ho, to foran WASA ya 15 par call karein taake kisi masoom ki jaan bach sake.
