THE 6th Road has become a very congested place in Rawalpindi these days. The reason behind the congestion on this road is the number of schools situated there.

However, wrong parking due to the metro bus project has added to the troubles of motorists. We can see people driving their cars and motorcycles on footpaths, leaving no space for pedestrians to walk.

Traffic wardens are available only during school hours. After that, all is messed up.
