their vehicles on road sides on

traffic jams.
“Shopkeepers are parking
their vehicles in front of
their shops in Main Chowk,
Tash Kand Chowk, old hospital
road, Auqaf market, bus
stand, sumo stand, fish market,
park road and at other
places that is causing traffic
jams,” they said.

raised this issue with higher authorities
many times, but it was
never resolved.

look into the matter and resolve
the issue.
