PESHAWAR, July 29: The delay in the completion of repair work on the Saddar and other busy roads in the Cantonment area is impeding the traffic flow.

The almost non-existent repair work on the Saddar road is blocking the road for over a month and the flow has further been constricted after erection of barricades at its entrance on the Stadium Chowk over a week ago.

Authorities concerned, when contacted, said that if rain did not interrupt the ongoing work, repairs would be completed before Aug 15.
