Although the entire Rawalpindi city is a persistent traffic nightmare, thanks to the fearless flouting of rules and the absence of a policy to decongest the areas, but Shah Khalid Colony Bazaar Road traffic slows to a snail’s pace causing a massive traffic jam. One can witness bumper-to-bumper traffic every day.
“A friend of mine who came to my house yesterday was surprised by the number of vehicles he saw on Shah Khalid Colony Bazaar road. He remained stuck for almost one hour in the traffic because two trucks coming from opposite directions had blocked the passage. Pedestrians look upon them as both a menace and a nuisance,” says Hamayat Ali.

PESHAWAR: The children of martyred police officials have warned of staging sit-in outside the Governor’s House if wards quota in the Police Department was not restored within three days.
Speaking at a news conference on Monday, Shah Khalid, Mehran Khan, Shahid Khan, Fayaz Khan, Malik Jan and Ibrahim said that they had held meetings with the police chief, members of national and provincial assemblies and relevant officials but nothing was done to meet the demand.
