RAWALPINDI Aug 16: Due to the slackness of traffic police, hours-long traffic jams have become a routine on Benazir Bhutto Road which is irritating motorists and commuters during the holy month of Ramazan.

The situation also leads to traffic jams in bazaars linking Murree road including Kohati Bazaar Road, Dhoke Khaba Road, Naz Cinema road, Circular Road, Liaquat Road, Tippu Road. The worst-hit points on Murree Road are Old Naz Cenima Chowk, Kohati Bazaar, Liaquat Bagh Chowk and Moti Mahal Cinema Chowk where traffic remains blocked for long durations.—Online
