Hasan | 9 years ago | Reply This is just pathetic, and plain misery for the common man. Despite the ongoing operation, if the rangers and LEA's can't ensure free travel of citizens, thats deeply regrettable. Especially on the day of elections, how are you suppose to get to the polling stations to vote, when you impose such travel restrictions.
