Motorists have to face problems because of the congestion on Liaqat Road, caused by encroachment and illegal parking along both sides of the road. The traffic wardens deployed seem unable to keep the traffic flow smooth.
The Liaqat Road is one of the most important arteries of the city as it leads to the District Head Quarter Hospital (DHQ). During peak hours, commuters and ambulances heading towards the DHQ Hospital get stuck in traffic jams, causing unwanted delays.
Shaukat Ali, a resident, said traveling on Liaqat Road required patience. “The commuters have to wait for a long time to reach their destination,” he said.
People have expressed anger over the deteriorating traffic management and the indifference of the authorities and demanded that stern action be taken against the encroachers to ensure smooth flow of traffic.
