The government prohibits temporary mechanical rides.
The Punjab government has imposed a temporary ban on mechanically operated rides for the Eidul Azha festival.
A representative from the Punjab Home Department stated that the prohibition pertains to mechanical rides that are installed temporarily during the holiday season.
Mechanical rides permanently situated in amusement parks throughout the province are free from the prohibition, provided they get fitness certificates from the deputy commissioners.
The district administrations will ensure that each mechanical ride complies with the requisite safety standards prior to the issuance of the certificate, as mandated by the department’s regulations.
The spokeswoman highlighted that the resolution to prohibit temporary and transportable mechanical rides was enacted to safeguard lives.
During the Eid holidays, numerous individuals, particularly youngsters, utilise the rides. Temporary rides frequently violate security procedures and endanger civilians owing to excessive loading.
The prohibition will persist during the Eid holidays.
