WITH the increase in population and in the number of vehicles, traffic jams have become a major problem for the people of Sukkur. Ghanta Ghar, especially, is the worst place to drive through and around. In addition to traffic jams, rash and negligent driving have added to the people’s misery. There are accidents because people do not follow traffic rules.

While I appeal to the police and other cities to solve the problem of traffic jams and discipline the traffic, I also appeal to fellow citizens to cooperate with the police.
