MINGORA, Sept 20: Traffic problems in Mingora city are on the rise as the number of vehicles that are not custom paid is increasing by the day.

Most of the roads in the city are also in a poor condition.

Moreover, majority of young drivers in the district do not have a proper driving licence, which further adds to the general traffic problems.

The situation worsened in the recent past as shopkeepers and traders encroached upon footpaths to do business.

The practice hindered the smooth flow of traffic and caused problems for the pedestrians.
