Traffic congestion

Published January 20, 2021

ABBOTTABAD’S main road has been under construction for a couple of months. As I travel on this road daily, I can tell from my experience that it now takes hours to get to one’s destination when it used to take hardly 15 minutes not too long ago.

People are facing difficulties because of unwanted delays. The public has been suffering due to hours of congested traffic, turning the daily commute into a torture.

I urge the relevant authorities to expedite the repair work.
